Maybe it took them too long, it just seems so...disconnected. Why on earth would someone spend €100 on a half hour DVD, and over €1000 for the set, no matter how well produced? Normally, the DVDs would accompany the written material except, of course, now-a-days DVDs aren’t even provided, instead there are links to download 4K videos. My DVD player isn’t even hooked up, and I certainly wouldn’t buy one at this point, it’s obsolete technology. It just seems dated and extremely expensive. It will be interesting to see what the written material will be priced at and how they manage to connect it with the videos. I can’t see someone spending over a thousand Euros on some older format videos and then ponying up what will likely be thousands more for the pages. I think the world has moved on from that. I’m not saying he is obsolete, but perhaps what he’s doing is. Maybe some schools, libraries, and archives will obtain copies. How many musicians will, when the cost will likely line up with that of a professional level guitar? Not many, I suspect. Perhaps Henry is right and this is targeting the text-book market but, even then, the format is obsolete and students would have the right to demand better. How many students even have access to a DVD player? Do compact laptops even have them anymore?
