Comprehensive, Understandable, Song Dissection
Wow, I don't really know what more to say about Mark John Sternal's ability to concisely and comprehensively communicate difficult guitar concepts in such a way that makes it seem easy. I own several of his DVDs and he is always able to help you understand in ways that elude most guitar teachers. Sternal is very detailed, yet concise so you do not get bored. The content of this DVD would probably take many months to go over with an in-person instructor and cost a fews hundred dollars. And, yet, you get all of that on one DVD for less than $15 bucks. Sternal doesn't hold anything back. I like that he splits the screen and shows you a close-up of his hands while simultaneously displaying the tab notation. I can't say how helpful that is rather than having to look at a book. The only couple minor issues that I have with the DVD are that the tablature staff tends to flicker and distract a little. And, I would have also liked to have seen a couple other popular songs that were...
Great help when you get stuck
Mark John Sternal does an amazing job in interpreting Randy Rhoads on guitar. The structure moves chronologically through each song (listed in the description) and is played slowly and the tab is demonstrated in each section to assist learning the piece. Sometimes even bar by bar when necessary. The section(s) are then put together at tempo to give you the example of how it fits in context to the song. The fills and nuances that permeate Randy's playing are also covered in reasonable detail. This includes all the variations Randy played in the studio recordings, live shows and alternate revision. It would have been nice to actually see a performance of the song from start to finish to get the whole example down. But this is in no way a problem as by the time you complete the song, you should have it down anyway, especially if you play along with the recordings.
Highly recommended if you get stuck on any particular riff/fill/technique or solo that you may be struggling...
