(More customer reviews)First things first.If you haven't bought "Fender Presents: Getting Started on Electric Guitar with Keith Wyatt" then go get that one.I bought a slew of these instructional DVDs, and if what you are looking for is a great first step to learning electric guitar, the Fender Keith Wyatt DVD is superior to every one I have seen. But that DVD, as good as it is, only takes you so far.
"Rippin Lead" is a great companion for the Fender DVD.It contains 10 solos of increasing difficulty that go far beyond the Fender DVD in sophistication.Paul explains the techniques well, and demonstrates each solo fast and slow. If you can play these, you're ready to rock.
These two DVDs are very different. The Fender DVD has a professional, positive tone, and the DVD navigation is easier.The lessons are more friendly and encouraging. This makes learning easy. I think the student's enthusiasm and attitude is directly related to the teacher's, and Wyatt is simply more inspiring."Rippin" is a little bit of a diamond in the rough.Paul Lidel is not unfriendly, but his demeanor is serious, almost sullen. He has a "deer-in-the-headlights" stiffness, which makes the video slightly uncomfortable to watch. Paul only smiles once, when he says goodbye. I'm just saying that you should start with the friendly, encouraging Keith Wyatt,and when you're ready, move on to the serious, skilled Paul Lidel.
There are plenty of other refinements that would improve this DVD, such as getting rid of the constant amp hum while Paul talks, and using a real, live drummer instead of a drum machine, and looping the solos for easy practice. But even though it lacks the polish of the Fender DVD, this DVD will challenge you and improve your electric guitar soloing.
Five stars. The negatives that annoyed me might not annoy you.And they certainly don't negate the core content - 10 well-designed solos that teach you to play like a pro.
