this was like the second guitar instructional vid i bought.

i only bought 2.

I picked up Guitar Player while waiting for my wife in CVS yesterday. That magazine has not changed at all since I read it last, which must have been like 12 years ago. Anyways, they had an interview with some "edgy" guitar schmoe with long hair and My Chemical Romance-esque eye makeup, who was talking about his new instructional DVD, which he said is the first R-rated instructional DVD. He was talking about how it will teach you how to play all his awesome solos, but will then cut away to topless women and "David Lynch weirdness," because "who doesn't like boobs?" Fortunately I have blocked his name from my memory.

This month's cover story: John Petr(go on, guess!)

DISCIPLINE

Petrucci most notably demonstrated his rock discipline by downgrading from his 19 string 3.5 neck solar guitar down to a mere 7 string.

SARZO!

i don't really know gambale but the "blues" section of this clip sounds fantastic!

a younger gambale, looking bored:

THIS GUY TROY STETINA IS MY MOM'S COUSIN. I HAVE NEVER MET HIM BUT I TALKED TO HIM ON THE PHONE. ONCE.

The second of Jody's youtubes is from the VERY DVD that AHz reviewed upthread. He was totally OTM by the look of it. The first one, the little blues lead section is indeed excellent. The info that Gambale is giving out in the pink tee-shirt clip does sound pretty solid.

I myself have been taking guitar lessons for the past few weeks. When you realise that you've been playing for 17yrs and you still can't play for shit, then it is time to get it on. I am learning "turn, turn, turn", which is quite difficult, but i am getting as little better already.

has anyone seen these?

Am I right in thinking Italian-Americans are disproportionately represented in the field of ROCK DISCIPLINE?

They found a need and took it over.

At what point does fret-melting become face-melting?

haha unless I'm terribly mistaken, p3trucc1 is playing in branca's symphony 13 for 100 guitars today in st. louis. He was in rehearsals this week. Super nice guy. Nice 6-string bass. And his hair is a lot shorter now lulz.

6-string bass dude is John Patitucci, not John Petrucci. One dude made famous by Chick Corea, the other by Dream Theatre.

Rocco Prestia's video is another one in the "doesn't suck" category.

...

Never mind

I wonder if Robert Fripp would ever lower himself to making one of these. I can imagine how it'd go too. He'd be all stern and professorial.

Guitar Craft (GC) is a series of guitar and personal development classes, founded and often presented by Robert Fripp, who is best known for his work with King Crimson. The Introduction to Guitar Craft (2004) describes GC as three things:

* A way to develop a relationship with the guitar;
* A way to develop a relationship with music;
* A way to develop a relationship with oneself.

In the wider guitarist community, GC is best known for having introduced the New Standard Tuning, Fripp's term for the guitar tuning that came to him in 1983 (C, G, D, A , E, G low to high), and that he had personally switched over to by 1984. In GC itself the tuning is only one tool used towards a wider aim of re-directing the student's guitar playing from scratch.

New Guitar Craft students are not expected to have any guitar experience at all, and it has been suggested, by Fripp and students, that previous experience can sometimes work against the course objectives, because of the expectations it places on the course and on music in general.

Some course activities have little or nothing to do with the guitar, such as relaxation techniques, house and kitchen work, Tai Chi Chuan and the Alexander Technique.

Hey awesome!
