John Myung instruction video review

John Myung

This is the first instructional video by the Dream Theater “wunderkind,” and it’s a good one--although you’ll have to leave your short attention span on PAUSE for the duration. About the first third of the hour-long video is devoted to a chord-tone lesson that’s hopelessly boring to watch but extremely valuable from a theory standpoint. Myung goes on to touch on harmonics, left- and right-hand technique (killer exercises here), tapping, and his other-worldly, “backwards-mode” to scales. A 40-page booklet illustrates almost everything, in both standard notation and tab. A great look inside the mind of a unique talent.
