Is he a good pedagog?

I think I saw him on some clinic to teach vibrato and a guy from audience came up and all he did was shout he was doing it wrong.
- I think build confidence in a pupil is the way to go, not kick them doing it wrong
- he mostly wanted to demonstrate how good HE was
- besides, I don't like Gambales vibrato anyway, no character

OMG how many courses there are out there.

I have a bunch of books, a couple from Chris Brooks on sweep picking and neo classical speed techniques I find really good in how it builds you up as a student.
- To teach is a special skill.

I don't know about Gambale specifically, but this is definitely sometimes a thing with successful artists. There are some that are also really good teachers... and then there are some that you listen and look at them play and afterwards you're none the wiser.

A similar scenario with sporting greats. They don't always make the best managers.

Loads.

I believe finger dexterity is fundamental skill, especially for improving.

I've seen so many hacking away a the A minor pentatonic ham-fisted, never to advance, happy playing the blues scale for eternity. Their choice.
An easy fix, no ones going to win the 100m without practice. It starts with, easy, slow practice.

I have a few books from Chris Brooks and Fundamental Changes/Amazon (I need to start). Truefire has regular sales.

Gambale taught at MI. I learned a lot from his articles when I was a kid, he's an excellent teacher.

Once long ago I tried a course
- said to very adapted to each student
- first lesson free

So it started with C scale on 5th string 3rd fret
- doing fret 3, 5, 7, 4th string same etc with fingers is position
- that was quite a stretch at the time for me, even on 24.75 scale
- then if somebody are on 25.5 even worse that low on neck
- so tutor did not quite know obstacles a student might have
- not handling the very first exercise?
- did not sign up for rest of course

Then got a book, got many books, but Petrucci "Rock Desciplin".
- he starts off doing stuff at fret 12-15
- then as you are compy with that, you go down one step doing same thing
- and down you go all to 1st fret

So this let's you start handling the stretch in a nice way
- you gradually comfortably handle wider stretches
- Petrucci knows where a student might be

Book based courses are often the cheapest and if you even pick up a single little thing that stays with you, you are home and it was worth it.
- most often with downloads or a cd or similar

But most likely Gambales course is worth that money, it's like a book in cost.

Sometimes doing something different is fun and make you spend time with "neck".
- which is a good thing
- variety always is

Right now slide and whammy bar
- mike casswell has some cool vids on whammy to get "sound like talking" like Jeff Beck a bit
- jennifer batten has some too, doing some cool riffs with a little whammy, really "talks"
- slide with Warren Haynes and Greg Koch are some and wait for online course to be released as lifetime access so not stressed with a subscription.

Same with keyboards stuff, piano and hammond.

And next time I record, I notice clearly how much quicker everything goes to get something I like in there.

Paul Gilbert (who also taught at MI) is another one who is really good at communicating concepts. I probably learned more from his videos than any other guitar teacher, even more than in-person lessons.
