- I've been a big fan of his for many years. I've seen the video, and while
- it's definitely interesting, I wouldn't consider it very instructional.
- It will provide insight into how he developed and recorded some of his
- material, and he plays along with tracks from the original album cuts, but
- there's a lack of nuts-and-bolts instruction in comparison to other guitar
- videos available.
- I enjoyed it as entertainment but would have been dissappointed if I'd
- bought the tape with expectations of learning some of his technique.
- If you're curious about his electric technique I'd suggest that your money
- would be better spent buying his "Master and the Musician" album, which
- contains lots of electric material. His newer "Wind and the Wheat" album also
- contains some electric playing; one particular track, "March of the Clouds"
- is worth the price of the CD alone!
