Not the same as Vol. 1

"I had Vol. 1 of Classic Blues on VHS way back when it was just Songxpress.
The product on VHS was awesome! But I think in the DVDs vol.2 and vol.3, they edited a lot of quality material that was on VHS tapes.
The biggest dissappointment was on the final performance of DVD for vol.2 and vol. 3 of Classic Blues. They edited out the entire performance..only giving you half the performance. Very Sad.
On my old VHS tapes, i really enjoy playing along with their entire performances plus, you get to see Dan Warner perform solos in the songs..which I pick up by watching him play.
I am sad that the product is reduced to a mediocore product compared to the original VHS recordings.

As usual...sizzle but no steak

"The problem with this (and most DVD and CD supported guitar instruction programs) is that the instruction is incomplete and misleading. The instructor shows a few chords and a basic lick. However, what is shown is so basic that it could be picked up for free on u-tube. Now, the DVD does provide nice versions of the songs, but the problem is the versions played are not the ones taught. The instructor adds lots of embellishment and flourishes, but gives no information on these additions. While no DVD can teach the subtleties of performance, at least the TAB for the performance could be included. Even without direct and explicit instruction, the addition of COMPLETE TABS would lead to an excellent product. As is, the product looks good, but has little substance."
