Sloppy and lame

This dvd really is not as good as others make it out to be. John M. is a sloppy player(at least on this dvd). I read that this compares to the John Petrucci Rock Discipline DVD. I own both of these dvds and this poor excuse for an ADVANCED metal solo techniques dvd, and it dosent even touch petrucci's work. Save you time and money and get something from Frank Gambale, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, or anything really. I own quite a few dvd lessons and this is by far the worst. Its laughable watching the instructor struggling to play these examples in this dvd that assumeably he wrote. Sloppy and Lame

Reviewer's Background: 10 yrs (w/2 yrs classical/blues lessons)

Reviewer's Play Style: Progressive/Experimental Metal

I have been playing guitar for just over ten years. I bought this Advanced Metal DVD from Rock House when I had been playing for about 6 yrs. I lived by it for a couple months, and after learning/memorizing everything John McCarthy shows you (and he shows everything at fast and slow speeds several times, plus there's a tab book, so I don't understand the other post that says he doesn't explain anything), I felt like I had crammed at least a year's worth of practicing into just a few months. Really - he goes over sweep picking (EXCELLENT breakdown of the technique), hyper picking, tapping, sweep/tapping, and more I can't even remember. Excellent original music he gives you to practice with, too. Five stars from this guy (I love metal, like BTBAM, Opeth, Gorod, etc.); I play an ESP EC-1000 w/EMG-81 active pickups. Peace.

When I bought this dvd, i was hoping to be able to learn a lot of new techniques.

I was wrong... the DVD is pretty good actually, but half the stuff he does isnt explained.

And its not even that advanced

Reviewer's Background: This is my 6th year of playing both guitar.

Reviewer's Play Style: I am pretty much very well-rounded

This instructional DVD was extremely helpful. Thanks to this DVD, I won first place in a contest of 15 people. My friend, whom I recommended this DVD to, won second place in a contest out of 10 people. My skill level increased immensely and I plan to continue to buy Rock House Method Products. "Advanced Metal" was the best instructional guitar DVD I have ever purchased.
