PlaneTalk - the DVD

PlaneTalk guitar instruction DVD is an hour long. I talk and play you through the exposition of my 'TRICK', the visualization technique that is the subject of PlaneTalk, the book. The basic principle behind the simple visualization technique described in the book is reviewed, then I look at all chord flavors, how to approach them melodically, then simple 2 and 3 chord changes, then on to more complex changes. I guarantee here and now that if you're still wondering what the trick is to having the whole fretboard at your disposal at all times, this video will dispel all mystery.

A project that even a few years ago would have cost tens of thousands of dollars in man-hours to edit together (I worked away 18 hours a day for weeks and weeks), I was able to do in my own time, at home at my own computer. To the right is a blank version of the format: the graphical fretboard at the bottom of the frame follows the live action above it while the voice over explains it all in plain English. By anchoring my guitar for the live shots, I was able to overlay the 'trick' onto the fretboard.

I had to spend an agonizing afternoon crouched under my poor old Gibson J50, which had been BlueTacked to a couple of kitchen stools, to get this shot. My right knee still aches from it, but believe me, this angle, coupled with the graphic fretboard where you can watch the music move around, supported by the voice over... what can I say? You will never look at the guitar in the same way again, nor will you ever get lost again.
