2 out of 5 stars abe ought to be ashamed of himself.......2006-07-09

I thought WOW an abe laboriel dvd after veiwing a few minutes of it I wished I had not. A player of abe laboriel's caliber should be ashamed of himself putting out a dvd/vhs like this. He really brushes over a lot of topics not focusing on any one for more than a minute or two. He does do a couple of good licks which is why I do not give this a 1 star but really a bad product.

2 out of 5 stars Very light.......2004-09-01

Just not enough "meat" here to make it worth recommending to others. This DVD attempts to cover far too many topics and doesn't really do any of them justice. (I just don't understand why a "Beginning" instructional DVD has to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you instead of focusing on a few key topics and doing them well.) Having recently converted to bass after being a long-time guitar player, I was looking for something more serious. Honestly, the only worthwhile take-away from the DVD are some of Abe Laboriel's riffs.
