I used to own the video but lost it over the years. I used it as a reference point for my own personal education for guitar playing, developing knowledge of the instrument and also improvisation etc. It is something every guitarist should have in their collection of learning materials. John Scofield is one of the most important figures for modern jazz guitar and general improvisation . . Period! Thx for making it available digitally. Percy Robinson☺️🙏
