Excellent!:
John Patitucci is not only an amazing player, but also an incredible teacher and offers insights into a myriad of essential & beyond aspects of musicianship on this DVD. Highly recommended for intermediate to advanced bass players looking to expand their playing in a big way!
Don't waste your money.:
This is not what you're thinking. This DVD is merely two hours of the "flamboyant" John Patitucci playing songs. He does not show any of his riffs to you, he plays them at full speed so it takes forever to find the pattern. This is $30.00 I'll never have back!
