Summary: Good Value
Comment: I found it somewhat disappointing that the video gives no direction in methods of obtaining sounds similar to those of the original Beatles recordings. Despite this shortcoming, for guitarists hoping to learn how to play some of the better-known licks of the Beatles, this video gives a broad sampling for far less than the cost of an hour of professional instruction. I found it to be of good value.

Summary: Terrible
Comment: This tape consists of a guy hurrying through several well known licks. If there's any instruction here I don't see it. Worthless.

Summary: Beware of all "In The Style of..." Videos
Comment: I completely agree with the first reviewer. All that I want to add is that I've tried a few of these "In The Style of..." videos, and all of them have been horrible. So this one isn't the only bad apple.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: This video was completely disappointing and bordered on absurd.

The picture and sound quality is poor; the video looks as if it was recorded by an amateur with low grade film and poor audio/video equipment. In addition, the "instructor" was poorly rehersed and his diction was terrible. His constant use of the words "thing" and "stuff" lends no credibility. Overall, the video has a high-school project type feel.

The video claims that "on-screen tablature" is included when, in reality, two photocopied sheets of music are merely enclosed with it.

While I will not criticize the "instructor's" ability, he certainly does not give "an in-depth study of the rhythm and lead guitar styles of George Harrison and John Lennon" which the video claims he will do. Instead, the "instructor" plays a number of riffs (actually referred to as #1, #2, #3...)two times each with minimal, and sometimes no, explanation. The instructor's "in-depth" observation of Paul's fingerpicking is that he picked with two fingers when he finger-picked.

This video is neither useful for a beginner nor helpful for a someone more advanced. The beginner would have trouble keeping up with the video because the "instructor" does not explain what he is doing or how he is accomplishing the sound. The advanced guitarist will be completely frustrated because she or he will likely already know every piece of information the video provides and already know how to play each and every riff (especially if he or she is a Beatles fan).
