"Very articulate and to the point
I personally really dislike instructional DVDs with like 6+ discs containing a bunch of techniques that tend to work well only for them, and the instructor spends most of the time just talking with convoluted explanations. Fortunately, I was able to find this DVD where Professor Friedman was able to break down very basic yet effective techniques in a very articulate manner. He is quick and to the point."
