Hi Vitor,

I have to say that I've never seen any of John Stowell's videos, but while I
was living in Portland I studied with John over a period of a couple of
years, and he's a great teacher. Some people can be great players but have
difficulty in communicating what they know to others. This is definitely not
the case with John. He is an excellent teacher, and I'm sure the videos
would be very helpful.

Vitor,
I bought the 3-video set earlier this year. They contain interesting
information about which scales (e.g., the 4 different melodic minor scales
to play over a Dom7 chord). I don't want to start another 'star' war on
this list, but the playing style was too angular (non-melodic) for me - I
couldn't distinguish one scale from another by listening/watching the
examples. However, it is most likely the case that my ear is simply not
advanced enough. If you just take notes on what is being said, there is a
lot of info on the tapes. Personally, I liked Don Mock's book on "The
Melodic Minor Revealed" (or something similar to that title) better,
although be aware that Don's recorded examples are a little fusion-tinged
(i.e., don't expect to see/hear traditional bop/swing lines).
