DISCLAIMER: I am not a paid blogger!(not that there’s anything wrong with that) Sometimes you read a blog where someone has written something about a product, but you don’t know if it’s their real opinion because someone pays them to do it, this is my real opinion.
Yesterday I wrote that I had bought an instructional DVD from a company called Rock House Method. I told you it was pretty good, and it is. For more insight, I want you to realize that it has been years since I bought an instructional DVD because most of the time the quality is appalling.
The DVD I bought Modes Demystified is clearly laid out,has a booklet that comes with it that kind of goes over what is shown on the DVD in tab. But this is not the end.
When I write about a company, I usually shoot that company an email to tell them. Nothing is expected in return, just showing them that people are thinking about them, be that negative or positive. A freakin T-shirt from said company would kick ass, but I digress. Anyway, I sent these guys an email, and guess what?
John Freaking McCarthy wrote back!
How cool is that? Most of the time companies are soulless shells. (How many of you remember the way MOTU treated me,lol?) But wait that’s not all! Some dude name Joe Rock House Palombo sent me a friend request to me in Facebook. Who The Hell IS Joe Palombo??
Holy Double Dropped D 6th String! He’s the co-founding partner of the place!
Now, can you think of the last time a company made you feel great about purchasing a DVD? Well? Can you? I’m not saying John McCarthy writes everyone who sends him an email back, Or Joe “this is all mine” Palombo friends all these people on Facebook, but it was a welcome change in my typical I email your company / you could give a damn response of most companies.
So here it is, I think any person wants to expand their knowledge on guitar playing should invest in the DVD that is suitable for what they wish to learn from Rock House Method. They also have great stuff on their website. These people are worth your $$ and your time.
Now if you’ll excuse me, some guy who looks like a former stoner with a blond surf wig on told me I had to go write down the major scales.

Nice write up. I have this video but I am still on the beginners DVD. I hope to make this my next step in lessons…once I find the time.
