DVD Reviews of Scott Henderson Jazz-Rock Mastery
DVD Review: ronreview
Summary: 1 Stars
First let me state that this is the first time that I have been moved to the point of entering a review on an Amazon.com purchase, and I have made many, many purchases. What motivated me to make my first review is the horrific and abysmal quality of this "instructional" guitar playing dvd. This dvd is a joke, and the joke will be on you if you buy it. Out of the entire running time of this dvd, there is not even ten seconds of informative or enjoyable viewing or hearing time. All while I was watching this dvd, all I could think of was how I had been had. While I was watching this pathetic excuse for a jazz guitar instructional dvd, I kept saying to myself over and over "this is horrible". In fact the dvd was so bad, it moved me to keep watching it in absolute and stunned amazement that someone would have the unmitigated gall to put it on the market for sale. As soon as I heard the first two effects laden notes, I knew I was in for a bumpy ride and a full frontal auditory assault from the stylings of Mr. Scott Henderson. Assuming that you would like to play guitar like Mr. Henderson (which I can not think of any earthly reason why you would want to), he doesn't even do a good job of teaching you to do that. He repeatedly lapses into mindless extended exercises where he appears to feel that his main job is to entertain you with his style of guitar playing, as opposed to teaching you anything. I think that this is a merciful thing. Heaven forbid that this pathetic excuse for music be propagated in any form or fashion. A better title for this dvd would have been "Scott Henderson, Live at the Video Recording Studio".
If I had read the other one star review of this product, I never would have bought the dvd. That review sums up this dvd perfectly. In jazz guitar playing, there is such a thing as "taste" and "economy of notes" playing. Mr. Henderson employs neither of these elements of jazz guitar playing. I beg you not to waste your money on this hoax of a dvd. Words literally fail me to tell you just how bad this dvd is. On many, many ocassions I have looked at guitar players and longed to be able to play like them. In this case, I hope I never ever sound like this guy. The only possible function that this dvd could possibly serve is that if you just started playing a few months ago, this dvd will show you just just how far you have come and that you are better than you think. The dvd will be a real confidence booster for you and it will let you know that you are on the right track and he isn't.
All of the other dvd purchases that I have made that I didn't particularly care for have been put on a shelf and I just don't watch them anymore. This dvd is so bad, I can't stand the thought of it being on my shelf and I have relegated it to its rightful place, the circular file.
If you can watch this dvd and enjoy it, it does not bode well for your future as a quality guitar player.

Jazz-rock great Scott Henderson reveals his unique approach to improvising.
