Known for his work with progressive heavy metal band Dream Theater, bass player John Myong adds his insight to the Progressive Bass Concept series in this instructional video. Among the topics covered are bass solos, lessons in chordal tone and applications, scale lessons, pattern applications, and alternating hand techniques. This video has also employed some of Myong's personal bass favorites as examples; "A Change of Seasons" is demonstrative of a proper left hand technique, while "Metropolis" and "Scarred" are used to impart knowledge concerning proper tapping techniques. Other participants in the video include Mike Portnoy on drums, and Derek Sherinian on keyboards. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
Based on the Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, Wayne's World is a wacky, irreverent pop-culture comedy about the adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey). From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive (Rob Lowe) who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"--and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra (Tia Carrere). Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra. Director Penelope Spheeris, Myers and Carvey hang a lot of silly, but funny, jokes on this thin plot, and the energy of the cast--as well as the wild pop-culture references--make Wayne's World a cut above the average Saturday Night Live spin-off movie. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
