Been on a serious instructional DVD kick recently.

I've had the flat to myself the past couple of evenings, so the night before last I watched...

Larry Carlton: Master Session.
Al DiMeola: REH DVD

...And last night I watched...

Learn Jazz Guitar With Six Great Masters
Eric Johnson: Total Electric Guitar

Thoughts...

Got some great ideas from all of them; triadic ideas from Carlton, rhythmic ideas from DiMeola, and chord voicings and pentatonic ideas from Johnson.

Instructional DVDs rule! I really want to get Scott Henderson's REH one, but money is tight...

The Henderson DVD is probably the best in my collection, he covers a huge range of topics. Do yourself a favor and grab it ASAP. What is the Carlton DVD like? Also, I've been wanting to check out John Abercrombies and Don Mock's DVDs.

Carlton's is great value, as it isn't usually too expensive. The first half talks about phrasing and motivic development, as well as vibrato and string bending. The second deals with triad-on-triad substitutions. There's some really good performance footage as well.
