I have that video and, although I haven't watched it for years, I kinda remember it being mostly fast three-note-per-string runs, fast triplet runs, and some two-note runs, with a bit on the modes as well.

I had a Marty Freidman instructional video and that was cool. He plays all kinds of weird stuff. Somehow I lost the video after only seeing it once.

I've got a Marty Friedman one - "Melodic Control". I enjoyed that one, it was quite different in approach to most videos and really explained his mindset when soloing. He did seem very bored and unenthusiastic on the video though.

I got a Frank Gamble one years ago on sweeps. I couldn't do any of it! :lol:

I downloaded a few, EVH by that bloke with the dodgy tache' and the hendrix ones, they ok. I had a look at the Rusty Cooley one and it's impressive but way out of my league and is a wank fest!

I have a couple of SRV ones picked up really cheap. I have learned a fair amount from them.

They sound cool Mr 38th! Do you know if they are still available?

Yes Johnny they are produced by Signature licks- Greg Koch ( you'll like that name)- they are not very deep but a bit of light entertainment. I got them cheap when my local MVC was closing down.

I bought one of Greg Kochs books on riffs, he's a good player and teacher. Yes it is a good name! I'll have to have a look for some of those SRV Vids, the man had so much style. I'm just having a crack at the Crossroads tab in Total Guitar, it's good but hard to make it sound right.

I had a go at some of that with John Mizarolli. I don't think my brain can handle anymore at the moment!
