Fender: Getting Started On Electric Guitar

Advantages: Good for beginners with a little experience
Disadvantages: Not for complete beginners

This is a good DVD for anyone who wants to get started on the electric guitar, and begin to play things a bit more complicated to impress friends and family. Keith Wyatt is obviously a very accomplished and skilled guitar player, and he knows what he's talking about. He presents new skills clearly and teaches what he knows well. The only flaw in this DVD is that it may be too hard for complete beginners of the guitar. Where a couple of the lessons ...
...guitar, tuning, how to strum properly and basic chords, it races through these basic skills quite quickly. However, once you have mastered these key skills, the instructional guide moves along at a good pace, and covers lots of things, such as minor pentatonic scales, major pentatonic scales, dominant chords, power chords, and how to play in electric style, as well as much, much more. Overall, this is a good buy if you already have some guitar ...

Review of Jools Holland's Music Makers - The Guitar With John James (DVD)

You definitely get a good workout!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None so far

I've always been a bit skeptical with fitness DVD's. I never believed they'd really achieve anything and that they were more of a "soft touch" approach to exercising. I'll happily admit that when I started using this DVD I was proven wrong. It provided me with a really tough and demanding workout that over time would really provide good results. The DVD You have five sections: Engage Your Body Warm Up: A routine that gets your body warmed ...

Derren Brown - gets inside your mind!

Advantages: A jack of all trades
Disadvantages: Not his best work

***Why I watched Derren Brown: Inside your mind*** I have only recently come across the amazing Derren Brown since I have watched the recent tv shows 'The Events' and 'The Specials'. After watching these shows I have been looking for other programmes he has introduced and found 'Inside your mind' and I have also read his latest book 'On Deception'. ***Derren Brown*** Derren Brown was born in England and his talent has been been portrayed in a number ...
...a somewhat unappreciated painter. Following a law based education Brown was inspired to start work as a conjurer, leading into hypnosis and also to mind reading performances. These array of talents have led to the unusual variety of opinions people have when it comes to Brown and what he actually does. Brown is something of a rarity as he is unique and he can predict, suggest and control human behavior. However Brown has openly admitted that he is ...

Review of Derren Brown - Inside Your Mind (DVD)

Entertaining journey through celebtrity family trees

Advantages: Entertaining, engrossing, intriguing, at times sentimental, very pleasant viewing
Disadvantages: Geneaological research is limited to trace back only about 150 years

...elders from one's childhood community, who are still living and can provide information about other family members who had passed away too long ago for the host celebrity to recall. Then all possible archives of communities, schools or places of employment would be searched for more details as well as additional branches of the family tree. We learn about how people lived, what sort of work they had to do, what difficulties they had to overcome, ...
...after them. There are many emotional moments, where the hosting celebrity might even break down sobbing, when confronted with the incredible hardships family members only a few generations back had to endure. There is plenty of humor in each episode, and plenty of wonderful moments where memories are cherished and pleasantries exchanged. For those reasons alone, this series is a joy to watch. The one detail I would find fault with, is the fact that ...
