At last, the very best way to learn directly from the Master!! Thanyou John.

Author: John
Very anticipated, yes, but does anyone else think that $175.00 is unprecedented for a 3-DVD set? Not that I doubt it's quality/value, but it seems that most instructional DVDs out there don't reach into the triple-digit range.

To John. The way I justified it was that there are 12 lessons on the DVDs. If you paid John McLaughlin for 12 lessons how much do you think that would cost? Even a modest $30 per lesson would add up to $360. Well worth it in my opinion. Can't wait!!!

The value is strictly based on what you can do with the knowledge given. Gurus abound, but their message is only worth what one can create with it.

learning guitar from john mclaughlin is like learning the bible from jesus....

Author: Philip Lane Pacheco
I have been a fan (disciple) of John's since My Goal's Beyond. With Montreux Concerts and now the DVD Set. A crowning achievement, the cost is irrelevant.

I agree with Alexander, learning guitar from JOHN is like learning the bible from jesus. I have been learning all HIS solos and harmony for many years... still I am. THANK YOU JOHN

Good Bless John McLaughlin, The best guitar player in the world
Thanks for this DVD, I´m waiting for this moment
Thanks again

I agree that fifty dollars an hour would be a bargain for private lessons, and that a DVD is even better in the sense that I can relive it again and again, but the price still seems steep to me. I also think that nothing is better than total enlightenment

D Frohman is correct - the value is based on what one does with the knowledge given. The breadth of McLaughlin's musicianship is astonishing. This DVD set is a bargain, especially when one considers the fees charged for hyped-up semiars and workshops.
|
Author: Mike
Regarding the price, the fact is that this is not a private lesson or an in person seminar/workshop - it is a DVD. So it is really hard to compare it to the price one pays for the latter services...It should also be pointed out that with a running time of

dom't worry about the cost.the knowledge gained is worth far more than a pile of pennies.

I can't wait to get this. I have been studying with one of his shakti bandmates and this. Lets work hard and get some more spiritual music out there!

Author: Keith
for all those lamenting the lack of tab....take a few weeks and learn some theory. if you can't read, these dvd's will be of limited value.
|
Author: Rahul
Price is never an issue with musicians. I stand by that. Proof: "The first batch of DVDS are sold out." And tabs may soon be out for the files on Guitar Pro. But I recommend you learn theory, because it opens up doors, I know I will.
|
Author: Daniel
What's all the complaining about the price? Frank said "Shut up and play your guitar!" I'll learn from McLaughlin and gladly pay this paltry sum.

Author: Joseph
Who said John has no melody? Lotus on Irish Streams, David, Stardust on Your Sleeve, Waltz for Katia, Thousand Island Park,...Those aren't melodies?

Are their PDFS files for the modes and scales? I can only access the demo PDFS. The others should be available. GREAT DVD>

I just received my DVDs yesterday and have gone through 5 or 6 lessons. I can't hardly put my guitar down. Outstanding is an extreme understatment. The best $175 you ever spent.

Author: joe hill
the sound quality is horrible on some spots you can barely hear his guitar playing or the talking is to muddy. The web page is also missing 90% of the pdf files of examples.

Author: Johm
The guitar is buried in the mix...wish he would have talked a bit about his physical approach to the instrument...inspiring none the less!!!

my greatest musical experience ever was seeing shaktiin 1975-76.it still brings back very enlightened andjoyous memories for me.thank you for the many happy memories, john.

I would gladly spend the bucks for this dvd set if it had tablature. I don't read notation. JM could add tabs and give user a choice as entertainment dvds have different choices. Until then I'll keep looping on my sampler. I love JM

I have only the .pdf files. I'm transcribing the tab for those files in PowerTab format. Interested? kevin@kevinmichaelmusic.com

we are talking about one of the greatest musicians of our time,making his concepts available to the public.call it an investment.
|
Author: Big Bux
Although the 250-character limit should be borne in mind before hitting the 'add review' button? John assumes you are familiar with all positions and have already internalized the scale forms. Thus no tab. Also adds a snobbish edge, cool, guildish.

Author: FunkyDogMusic.com
Book would be a plus. Think about it. If you can't read-your not realizing the actual theory behind JM's improvisation ideas. Great course. Not a Hot Licks entertainment VHS Aaron Leone

There are some real pompous asses posting here. "Price is never an issue with musicians." Maybe that applies to accountants who play music on the weekends, but for the many who sacrifice comforts to eek out a living playing music, price is often

Dear John, will give us what we need... some charts to help us along. Thanks with great respect

maybe this just ain't for intermeadiates.

Author: Brad Conroy
That Guy is right. $175 is cheap for twelve lessons that you can watch over and over. Usually virtuosos charge $100 for lesson. I should know. see me at www.classicalchicago.com

Author: Blue
you complainers would'nt put in the work it takes to master this material if JM gave you lessons in person free.
|
Author: Juanito
If you really want to get your shit together you've gotta learn how to read standard music notation,study it every day and eventually you get there (tab is very limited).

Author: rm
If you are willing to put the work in (including learning to read notation-unlike the amateurs complaining here) it is well worth the dosh.

I think that if you want a Psychoanalisis session with Freud or Lacan it would cost you a lot of money. Some decides to go to the ones that work in their neighbourhoud and it's ok.
Going to the dentist cost me more than $175.00
My lawyer cost me muchhhh

No melody? Check out Lotusfeet and tons of other McLaughlin compositions!!This guy must be accustomed to listening to Satriani!!!!!!

Content vs. Value...Need vs.Want
Few would doubt that John has had a brillant career and for him at this point to 'share' his insights through an innovative DVD format is the best news I've heard in years. Iam not obsessed with John's particular style o

Author: Reza Khota
Mclaughlin has put more spirit, intellect and heart into the guitar than most. Any wisdom that he has to share should be invaluable.

In my estimation the "This is the way I do it DVD" is sensational. A complete educational treasure. As a professional you have to take my word on this. The caliber of any student determines their rection to the master. This is a very ancient tr

to ever walk the Planet! You can't put a price tag on something like that. Thank You John, your DVDs, I'm sure will help me reach that

You are all STUPID!! I would pay 3 million dollars for John!! Now if only mr Al Dimiola would come out with something besides books?!?!

When I heard The Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 70's..that music was ahead of that time. Evolution in every note (Billy Cobham was in it..remember?). After that John went an amazing solo career. Now he releases a DVD? Heeellooo beginners!! Your asses will kn

Dont listen to people complain that it is expensive. It is the best 175 i have spent and I am a basic intermediate guitar player. Close your eyes and get it. Its an entire curriculum

Author: pope benedict
Ihope the expense is justified John...most of us work for minimum wage and play for free...because we love music we'll pay...I was very disabpointed that my 49th birthday money won't pay for it all...

as a music student i can only work one day a week earning £25 fro 6 hours on a sunday (maybe$40)so even if i didnt eat it would still take me more than two months to afford this!

I am actually getting this for my son for his birthday/Christmas. He is going to be thrilled about it!
|
Author: Elias
For you guys who only read tab, this will be kinda tough. I suggest you learn to read music because then you are forced to learn where all of the notes are on your fretboard. Its more fun & accurate too.
About the DVD's, they kick mucho ass!

An interesting mix of reviews and madness...makes one wonder. Oh well, I'll order it anyway - after 40 years of trying to do-it-myself...why not?
|
Author: Lucid
No one has mentioned the content value
Is it for advanced players as opposed to intermidate... If it's just running through modes, then it's useless in my case. If it's conceptual playing & John's personal techinque... then it will be well worth it.

I bought this after reading some good reviews about it. It is indeed for advanced players only. Also the quality of the production is below par. For example, the 3rd DVD, the chapter12 is skipping... Video is of 640K qulaity. So called bonus material fre

You cannot put a price on something like this.To see John's techniques explained in plain view and in depth on DVD priceless to the serious guitarist.

These DVDs are incredible. Also I had a problem with exercise 13 and John came to my house to explain. Also he brought a large veggie pizza. YAY!

This is a rare product. Do not hesitate if you love John's work, you wont be dissapointed as he sincerely and in details tells how he looks at harmony and improviising
