is there any way I could help you?

That's interesting to know Francesco. I thought you only did videos and didn't do "help." (No pun intended.)
I had asked you once a while ago and I thought the answer was "no."

But since I'm not in a band any more, it's kind of a moot point now.[/color]

I took the plunge and bought the three pack on the advice of everyone here. So, I belive that means that if I'm not completely satisfied, everyone here owes me $70.

I'm not primarily a bass player, but I too would love to see Francesco give that a shot. Your vids on YouTube have been terrific.

That being said, I thought there was some talk a year or so ago that Rob Taylor was looking at doing a "Beatles Bass" To-A-Tee version. No idea if that was just rumor or what.

Just heard from them, sounds like the pre-orders will be shipping on 20 Nov.

I just finished ordering my set of videos. So for the modest sum of $70, I'm going to start playing like George? Such a deal! I had better start shining up the DuoJet, the J160E, the Country Gent, the 360/12v64, the Tenny, the Casino, and the Strat. My '65 AC-30 Super Reverb Twin is gonna get a workout.

That is the most fun I have had online in some time, Francesco. Great work. Are you guided solely by your ear or do you rely on video to make sure you are in the "right" position?

Just got my 3 DVD set today (Nov. 23) in the mail. I watched the first one straight through and the second almost all the way through and then realized that it was 1 AM and I have work in the morning. Looks like it was definitely worth the money and the wait. Really cool.

Volume 3 arrived yesterday and I've already watched it twice and learned lots of things I never knew ! Way to go Rob !!

I got home last night with my 3-DVD set and immediately sat down to watch Volume 1. I don't know what was worse for me, the many lead variations on "Till There Was You" or the dueling Casinos on "And Your Bird Can Sing". I found myself hating Rob Taylor because that guy has fingers that do things a recalcitrant chord cheater like me will never be able to play. As if to add insult to injury, I sat and watched as he perfectly recreated the sounds on "Dear Prudence" on 3 or 4 overdubbed Casinos. I'll never be able to do that. I suppose I'll watch Volume 2 tonight in the garage with the car running...

Randy, you've made me fearful now. I was considering ordering the 3 DVD's, but will I be required to grow another pair of hands in order to master anything? While fearful, you've certainly made the DVD sound very intriquing.
