Title: Great player, but not great teacher
Review: The problem with these teaching videos is the same: a great musician who records his chops so you can see how awesome he is, without teaching you a thing. If you understand the concepts he is talking about, then that means you have already attained "the truth" in jazz and you didn't need to watch this video in the first place. It's more like George is having inside jokes with the guitar players who "get it", and those of us who "still don't get it" are left confused and frustrated.I put down my guitar ten minutes into the video because it was futile. I couldn't even hear myself play after seeing how George BREEZES through the neck whipping out one tasty jazz lick after another.Don't kid yourself: it takes a lot of theoretical knowledge and long hours of practice before you can play like George. This video is nice to watch once or twice, but it won't help you.
