Michael Romeo the guitar chapter video

[Serge...]

I don't think the guitar chapter is anything special. I've seen it, and it's fun to watch and all, but not really practical or useful, except for a few licks here and there. I think you can hear Romeo's craziest shit in most Symphony X songs!

 

[Ellfish]

I'm nowhere near good enough to play any of the stuff on it, but it's awesome just to watch him play.

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

then he should do anthor one, he can do a couple of videos, one showing more on how to play his songs, and one with all the advanced theory

 

[The Yngster]

Its not like it would take him long! He'd walk in, blast out a few solos in one try without trying (just to discourage all other guitar players lol), and thats it!

 

[rockmanxpr]

Yeah Jaxx, just tell Mike the video is a great supplement to those of us who haven't seen him play live (especially on the west coast, well I saw him in SF). I would love to see a instructional series by him but too bad it's not like it was in the late 80's-early 90's when those vids flourished, Hell i think his would sell well in Japan STILL!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

I actually like Romeo's idea a lot better! Something with advanced theory would be great, and ideas for constructing solos would be a lot better than Romeo playing all those solos we already know. Not to say it isn't god damn impressive to see him whip that stuff off effortlessly, it just doesn't help players out too much.

 

[Yngvai X]

Hell i think his would sell well in Japan STILL!

Thats where the Guitar Chapter is from, its by Young Guitar

And after seeing The Guitar Chapter and transcribing some of his solos its pretty easy to get the jist of the kind of licks he does, so I'd really enjoy seeing a video that was more about applying different scales and stuff. That would be really interesting and helpful.

 

[theodyssey]

psh... i just wanna see him shread so i can continue to worship him as a god

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

I would like to see the old version re-released and a new video! C'mon, lay it on me!

 

[Bet23]

I have the original, i bought it ONLINE, from JAPAN... i love this video, even if I really wish he'd do another where he talks more about his approach to writing and arranging... i think its great, and if you look around YOU CAN FIND THEM for sale online...

 

[Episteme]

I've got the bootleg. And I watched this was before I heard any of the real solos on cd. My jaw was literally on the ground

 

[The_Accolade]

if anyone can wait until september, i will sell it to you then.
i have one copy

its a good video, but i think i have taken everything i can out of it. i remember i REALLY wanted it at one point. if it out of print and somebody here really wants it, i guess i could sell it to you in september. i feel bad if someone needs it and can't get it...so i can share the wealth

pm me if you are interested.

This could be a great opportunity to MJR record a brand new video, but this time, on DVD. What would you people think?

 

[The_Accolade]

i think that would be awesome

except i don't have a dvd player!!

how about a book with a cd that you can play on your stereo and put on the computer to watch video clips

 

[Macy]

I don't like his video. It's just "and then I do like this - fidelly-didelly-didelly-do" and that's it. OK, if you already are advanced, but he's not very good at teaching. Compared to like Petrucci's video, which is more about understanding than "WOW, DUDE, YOU'RE REALLY FAST". But it's cool to watch. Once.

 

[rockmanxpr]

Well I do believe that's why Mike didn't like the video...

well...he DOES teach you how to do a sweep arpeggio from the beginning

it could use a little more detail, but i am almost sure even a beginnner could understand his explanation of how to do a sweep arpeggio.

i myself got a lot from his idea about string skipping and tapping on arpeggios, or tapping 7th arpeggios with one extra note...
some cool string skipping excercises

if it kept on in the same way..had a few more lessons and techniques, and went over his fills on rhythm guitar, i would be really happy with the video.
