What does everyone think of them? I own quite a few of them

These have really helped me. What are your oppinions on them?

Michael · 03-20-2007, 06:14 AM

They are pretty awesome. I haven't really learnt a whole lot from them, but they are hella inspiring for playing, practising, etc. I have Basic Training, Performance & Clinic 1 & 2 (2 is his best DVD by far!), and I think I have The Art Of Picking and Shred Guitar Manifesto here somewhere. The dude has some killer licks up his sleeve.

I believe %100 when you say they're inspiring! Can you believe that he never used a metronome regularly? I was amazed when he said that on his forum.

They're pretty cool, few cool licks to rip off and expand on, but they kinda bore me

Playing to the tap of your foot might actually be more beneficial than metronome practice for certain players. It's not totally abnormal.

I've got SGM and AOP, and they're both really good. He has some really unique ideas. They do suffer a little from the REH syndrome, where they'll only be of the greatest use to you if you already have your theory/technique fairly together though.

One of the most beneficial parts of them was the 'legato workout'. Since I got SGM I've often run through that as a warm-up, and it really does do wonders for your left-hand dexterity.

Gilbucci · 03-21-2007, 06:30 AM

Pardon my stupidity, but, what does REH stand for? The legato workout is really awesome, i do it almost always for my warmup everyday. It's kind of hard to memorize every single shape, so I go through the first four or so. Overall, his videos are very challenging, especially the legato parts. My legato sucks MAJOR ass.

i'm assuming its the REH instructional videos, famous for the "Look How Good I am" videos.

Yeah, pretty much. They were the ones who put out stuff like Paul Gilbert's 'Intense Rock' videos in the 80s. There's some really good stuff in their back-catalogue, but like I said, you already need to know what you're doing, as it's mostly just players demonstrating an hour's worth of licks at fast and slow speeds, without really explaining the concepts behind what they're doing.
