BB King is such a gracious and modest person here it will just kill you. He is interviewed by a fawning fanboy Guitar World contributor throughout, and everytime fanboy says something about how great BB is, he just kind of puts his head down and blushes and says, "well...thank you".
The interview segments consist of BB and fanboy sitting down with their guitars, and BB will demonstrate licks and techniques to fanboy's accompaniment, explain where he got this and that idea from, etc. These segments are broken up by performance footage every 20 minutes or so, including a smokin' rendition of "Nobody Loves Me But My Mother".
The thing that really cracks me up about this DVD is that here we have BB King, a musician who is 1000 times more respected than a guy like who Petrucci who's devoted his life to learning every flash bastard technique under the sun could ever dream of being, and he's sitting here going "Well, I'm not actually very good with my fingers..." when attempting (and more or less failing) to demonstrate the old school country blues shuffle, and saying things like "Well, you should learn to play in every position.........of course I never did." This serves as a valuable lesson to anyone who may not know better: You don't have to know all that Berklee/GIT bullshit to be considered a good guitarist, just be yourself and be original and make the best of what you know how to do.I recommend this DVD to anyone with even a passing interest in guitar.
There's not much to say about "Fretboard Logic" except that the producion values are rock bottom. It looks like something you'd see on Public Access or PBS in the middle of the night. It's basically just some totally nondescript guy running through fretboard memorization stuff like the CAGED sequence etc. and will be valuable to anyone who needs to learn this kind of thing.
If there's anything else of note once I've watched these in full, I'll report back.

Maybe we can change the parenthetical bit in the thread title from (a picture thread if the pictures can fit) to (Guitar DVDs reviewed HERE) or something like that.I'd encourage anyone else who collects these to post reviews here as well.

The essential fallacy of all these videos is the prog rock fallacy: that 'increasingly complex' is 'better'.

this was like the second guitar instructional vid i bought.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 July 2007 04:48 (seventeen years ago) link
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.
