Great For Ambitious Guitarists
Filled with snippets of Mr. Di Meola playing guitar with his 'World Sinfonia' band, while also focusing primarily on his incredible technique, this video is ideal for both musicians who would like to know and play as Al does, as well as entertain any fan who is amazed by both his techniqual and composition skills. This video is a little old, about 10 years or so, and while the music is at least as old, it still is worth checking out. I feel that the 40 or so dollar price range is a little unacceptable, considering not only that the tape is rather old, but that the tape only comes with a 20+ page paperbacked booklet which only focuses mostly on solos. Still, though, it's the only instructional video that Mr. Di Meola has made so far, and you aren't going to find much better, as far as instructional videos from incredibly talented musicians go. I would recommend this product to either intermediate to advanced musicians, as Al's technique and mastery of the instrument far surpasses anything that a beginning guitarist could comprehend, and therefore I wouldn't recommend that a 'newbie' attempt to play these impossibly fast solos (although it is good for practice when slowed down!).
