4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the novice, 22 Feb 2005

This review is from: Segovia Style Classical Guitar [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is a well put together DVD and I would have given it 5 stars but the sound quality isn't that great. I will point out straight away though, that this DVD is NOT for a beginner. You need to be working at an advanced intermediate stage, (beyond grade 5) to be able to follow Eliot Fisk's descriptions of chord structures, rythmm and harmonies, and to be able to take his instructional content and apply it to the instrument. The pieces which he performs on the DVD, are well within reach, if you study them carefully and don't try to play them at the speed Eliot does.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great guitarist - Mediocre Instructor, 5 Oct 2004
By Rod Saunders - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Segovia Style Classical Guitar [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC] (DVD)
There are true gems to be mined in this instructional video from Eliot Fisk. Excellent insights into Segovia's approach to playing and his influence on the world of classical guitar. Some of the tips I enjoyed were the ones on arpeggios and vibrato. The only problem I have with Fisk's presentation is that he seems too focused on dazzling his viewers with his playing and not focused enough on bringing the viewer up to his level of proficiency. This video is not for beginning guitarists or even beginning classical guitarists. You need at least an intermediate skill level and probably an advanced one to benefit from it. If you simply want to watch one of Segovia's former students display the skills he learned from the maestro then you'll probably love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This dvd grows on you...., 26 Oct 2005
By Roger Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Segovia Style Classical Guitar [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC] (DVD)
When I first popped this dvd in I wasn't very impressed, probably because it offers a type of instruction that I am not very used too. He approaches the music thoroughly and with the expressive quality only the guitar can offer. He talks more about articulation and musical analysis more than any other instruction book or dvd I've encountered. It's kinda along the lines of the Parkening method in the way he gives so many little tips about the pieces he's playing but Eliot takes it up a notch. This is NOT for the beginner!!!! But if you want a glimpse into how an atonishing player like Eliot Fisk approaches his craft this is a must have. He brings to light the nuances that you won't find anywhere else that will make you that much closer to sounding like our heroes. I absolutely love this dvd.
