Mikael Akerfeldt instructional/guitar lesson DVD?

[Karl Hungus]

Wouldn't that crazy an idea, would it?

Mike is probably my favourite guitarist there is, right up there with Chuck Schuldiner, and I've got a few instructional DVDs here by the likes of John Petrucci and Michael Angelo, which are pretty badass indeed, so what would be better than if Mike did a DVD? Well, probably lessons from Mike himself, but I'd say that's a rare enough thing.

didn't you watch Drapery Falls guitar lesson? lol

It would be good to have an instructional video that promotes feeling and choice of notes rather than speed and technique.

Right, because that's the same as a whole DVD, isn't it?

i wholeheartedly second this motion.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Speaking of instructional videos that are more about feeling than technique, I heartily recommend Marty Friedman's Melodic Control. Damn good one that is.

Come on lets get a groove lession from Mendez.

The speed and technique vids aren't all bad. I once showed a Malmsteen (beginner lesson) instructional video to a few friends who had slightly inflated heads, and have yet to find a better way to shatter an ego...

 

[Ermz]

Don't get me wrong, I love the speed ones. I've been practically living off Malmsteen's 'Full Shred' vid for Young Guitar the last few days. It'd just be nice to have a contrast.

good choice.

I fail to realise how you can teach emotive playing through a video, I don't think a video is up Mike's alley. It would be more intersting with a Martin Lopez drum instruction video.

i got the Petrucci one and it improved my playing by leaps and bounds...

But i think the best way of learning is with a teacher, one-to-one
I've had a teacher for nearly 4 years and its really helped me to develop my own style

 

[opeth_353]

I just like having dvds of people playing guitar or drums etc. I just love watching people play - it's really interesting for me. I'm sure loads of you will agree that listening to a virtuoso play can be one of the most inpsiring things and is really interesting.

 

[Kenneth R.]

i'm utterly sick of all the sweep and tap and such videos, they (along with the style) generally bore me.

a melodic note-choice type video would be a lot more interesting.

 

[April Etheral]

hrmmm...
I'm not sure about that, then you'll just end up with lots of people doing what Mike or someone like that does....Good music comes from the heart and not from someone else
I guess it could help people to develop a style?
