Horrible DVD

"Don't bother to buy this. Curt cant play Young riffs better than you probably already can, and he didnt even bother to get a Gibson SG and right amp settings for the occasion. These lessons wont teach you ANYTHING about Angus/Malcolm Young techniques. He just plays some riffs you can find on hundreds of TAB sites and thousands of books."

Big dissapointment

"Bad picture, bad sound, horrible teacher. Buy tablaturebooks and listen/look at AC/DC themself to get it right. The rythmsection where you`re supposed to play solos along witb, is just curt jaming away whit diffrent ways of you shook me. Buy "jam whit AC/DC" from the booksection instead."

All the great AC DC riffs are here!!

"First off let me say Curt Mitchell seems to be an excellent guitarist and could probably play anything. On this DVD he covers the best of AC-DC's best. Some are just the main licks and others show the entire song's guitar parts. Be advised that this is a low budget DVD meaning Curt is filmed in full frontal playing the riff at normal speed and then playing the same riff played at a slower speed with just a closeup of the guitar neck. Although he provides the sheet music for all riffs in another section of the DVD, Curt doesn't provide any real verbal instruction(doesn't mention what cords are used in the riff or distinguish the picking style, etc..) and there are no onscreen diagrams or typed instruction. Unless you can read sheet music real well, you are unfortunately left to try and figure out what cords he's fingering by constantly rewinding and using the repeat feature on your DVD player. Hard to distinguish at the angle this was filmed at... Curt: Try using more verbal instruction as you are teaching(ie:call out the cords as you play them)and realize that most who order this DVD cannot read sheet music. Some graphics of the guitar neck or other onscreen printed instruction would be helpful and does not require much technology. My twelve year old is having a real hard time without my help. All in all this is a great way to learn great riffs from one of the worlds GREATEST bands presented by a guy who really knows and loves great classic rock and roll!! I'm glad this DVD series is available!!!"

"He does not go into detail like he should. Just a very poor attempt at teaching.Some people can play. Some people can teach, He can not teach.. I do not recommend this for anyone ..."
