Can Anyone Recommend Instructional Dvd's?

How many of you folks go to dvd's for help in getting better? Which ones do you think helped you alot? I just got my feet wet with Greg Koch's take on SRV's style. Very entertaining and helpful dvd.

I think Shawn Lane's video is incredibe (VHS) though it depends on what style of music you're interested in. If you're into blues, you'd probably not dig it.

Albert Lee's DVD is great too

Thanks jzucker, I'll look for that Albert Lee one on dvd!

I wish the REH stuff of his would be available on DVD. I just bought a video camera that is able to convert analog to digital (external signals) on the fly so if it works reliably I may pick up the REH tape again and convert to DVD...

I like using them as added impetus to practicing. Watching them fuels new ideas for me. I like Scott Henderson's quite a lot. I like John McLaughlin's DVDs too, but it's a different approach. Bergonzi's DVD is pretty good too.

Danny Gatton's video taught me a lot.
Tuck Andress has a great video. Kind of falls into the entertainment category for me though... A lot of good info, but the water gets really deep really fast on that one!
Eric Johnson's first video is extremely well rounded, covering ground from Chet - Stones - Hendrix - Beck - Clapton, and, of course, EJ himself.

I 100% recommend John Mclaughlin's DVD's. They're costly but you be using that info for music the rest of your life. It's the best I've seen and I've seen a lot.

Aw man! I'm glad I finally made you laugh! You're posts have been killin' me since I've been a lurker, and I've tried to work the wordplay angle before, but I didn't even see that one coming! Kinda sad not to be funny until trying to be serious...

Thanks man. I just couldn't resist laughing when I saw the thread that was started over 2 years ago finally got answered by the person who was being asked for recommendations in the title.

I didn't even see the original date
So much for being helpful...

Emily Remler's for Jazz
Don Mock's for any blues/rock player trying to expand your horizons

Both of the above just to see some great playing.

+ Tomo's AYGP for, well, becoming a better guitarist

That's hysterical....



I can't recommend Doug Doppler's "Diatonic Theory & Harmony" highly enough. It's not about licks, it's about learning "Diatonic Theory & Harmony". He's such a great teacher and the lessons are well laid out.

Off topic question. (SORRY!)

Which brand, model? I have tapes(Hi 8 tapes) and would like to convert dvd
or make files in my Mac computer. I can make sound clips but not video clips yet.

Thanks,
