John Entwistle may have written some great bass lines in the songs that he played on with The Who, but I have little confidence in his overall ability as a musician/teacher. I watched this DVD and I'm sure a paycheck was the motivation to do this and I feel like Mr. Entwistle could care less about teaching anybody anything. In fact I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what he is doing. As he babbles on about his anti-technique and tries to give examples on the bass, everything is done with a distortion setting that never gets turned off.....EVER. The whole pointless DVD is a buzzy incoherent mess. I was so angry with this supposed instructional video that it did motivate me to play the bass better than I had been before. If a "Bass God" with musical blinders on can write awesome bass lines, anybody can. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
