I've been playing with this video for years. It did build my chops big time and gave me a very solid sense of time. After mastering this video you will have serious control over your guitar.

Well once you get past the scary richard simmons aerobic setting... I think this dvd has some good stuff to offer for advanced or intermediate advanced players. Myself being more a beginner, I am not up to this. It is basically an endurance/chop building routine that is fairly long and you do this a couple times per week. So if you play in a band or just want to bust your butt playing exercises than this would be perfect. However if you are looking for chopbuilding exercises that give explanation and are played at various speeds... then try something different.

This video is a perfect daily workout for your chops. Gambale doesnt hesitate at all to throw out exercises at high speeds without slowing down at all. Playing along through the whole hour will leave you both tired and satisfied. A must buy for guitarists loking to improve their playing.

Ok I get that this was filmed in '94 but its just so annoying watching it that i just cant stand it... Im glad i bought off ebay and only spent 15 bucks on it otherwise i would be disappointed even more. The actual workout or whatever you want to call it is great its just the delievery makes me nauseated. So I would suggest buying the book and cd for a lot cheaper than the dvd. But overall its good for doing just like it says building your're chops... however me being a intermidiate beginner I find it takes longer than the suggested hour to do the program.

Semi-cheesy production, but excellent content

Frank's wicked technique is laid bare for all to see and hear in this video. His approach to scalar, modal, and triadic playing is enhanced by his seemingly effortless ability to blaze at ridiculous speed and accuracy. It's presented in a musical way, so that the viewer is not bored or threatened by the content, but inspired. The girls are cute, but make the video a little weird. At least it shows he's got a sense of humor, even if you don't share it.
