Two Guitar Instructional Video Must Haves

There are two guitar instructional videos that come to mind that every guitarist should have in their library.They are by Eric Johnson ,"Total Electric Guitar"and Frank Gambale's "Modes No More Mystery" DVD.Both are very informative and thought out in a way to easily understand,and both have some great playing on them,by these artist.
The Eric Johnson video,"Total Electric Guitar",i think,is his first one he put out.He opens with a great performance and then gets into explaining different guitar players and their styles and the techniques used to create their sound and style.He even goes as far as combining their styles into one song,a very interesting thing to "see" and "hear"!And to me,the big plus is this.Personally i have yet to hear Eric's talent come through,in way of his released cd's,as i have on this video.His playing abilities,on this video, simply out shine the ones expressed on his released audio cd's!So... you will quickly see his enormous gifts and talents on this instructional video...

Now,on to Frank Gambale :-).Frank is,well,simply amazing.His sweep picking and all and his work with Chick Corea.But Frank is also gifted in teaching and getting info to the student,in a way that is easily understood and absorbed.And the DVD "Modes No More Mystery" is no exception to this.He breaks the modes down to a basic understanding,and plays them seperately against the proper chord progression.Even going so far to show the proper chord progression that works or fits with each mode!This,in itself,is a must know,to understand the modes and their place in improvising against chords.
