"I learned a lot from Rob"

This DVD does have some product suggestions at the beginning as has been mentioned in other reviews. However I found his descriptions of suitable instruments and equipment to be very useful. Rob goes into a lot of detail about guitar cables that he uses and I took his advise and bought the cables and as he had said,they are great cables at a reasonable price. If you listen to Rob during the video,he states that just starting out playing you can use any equipment you already have or can afford. I found his instruction to be very clear and easy to follow. I'm not a beginning musician,so I clearly have an advantage over somebody not knowing anything at all about music,but I think that the real value of this DVD is the technique you learn for the instrument and what equipment you'll need to play in a professional setting. I also have the DVD set from Cindy Cashdollar that will compliment this DVD quite well. Cindy goes into bar slants more that Rob does,but Rob covers bars,pedals,strings,cables,and picks more that Cindy. If you want to learn to play lap steel I suggest you get all 3 DVDs and an 8 string C6 lap steel. The one I eventually bought was a Morrell which I'm quite happy with,but look forward to owning the Sierra. Hope I was of help to somebody wanting to learn. Thanks.

I know John from the groups he and I belong to on Facebook.  He has been a great help to me this year. I couldn't wait to read his book so I bought the Kindle one and the hard copy. I just read the Kindle one. And I happily give him five stars. He doesn't pull any punches. He puts his mistakes and his triumphs right there for everyone to read. As I read his book and read about some of his mistakes I would think to myself "I wish I had read this book before I made the same mistakes" because I have made many of the same ones he did, but like John I learn for the mistakes and go on. i recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn about ways to make money online, that wants to learn about the best items to sell on Ebay and Amazon,and how to find them. I would also like to thank John for writing this book. It opens up my eyes to a lot of possibilities.

I bought this book from Amazon and it was one of the best buys I ever made.  Not only because of a great price and prompt shipping, but also because this book has inspired me to get off my duff and make a low-budget  feature.  I've been to film/tv classes and have worked in television and  video production for almost 20 years.  I've been hampered by conventional  production techniques and restricted by the corporate mentality that things  are only done a certain way and that way only.
Well Rob Rodriguez sounded  a lot like I was 20 years ago, only he acted on a few ideas, limited  resources and a positive attitude that resulted in a finished film.  His  personal story on what he went through before his production began is a  great back story to the day-to-day moviemaking experience.  The value of  this book is that Rodriguez gives a candid view of what's going on in his  mind as he takes us on this journey.  Sure, there could be more technical  details, but if you have any previous experience or just some basic ideas  of how movies are made, his descriptions and explanations are easy to  follow and appreciate.  If you want more technical stuff, there's a lot of  other resources you may want to check out first.  But if you've ever  thought of making your first feature and wanted to control everything by  doing it yourself,  this is a great book by someone who did just that.

Rob has a great way of getting inside a cyclists head. It's concentration all the way in GC races. It's thinging and planning all the time. All revealed by a top Australian cyclist who has just retired from a magnificent career. You'll learn much from ONE WAY ROAD. Interesting - start to finish!

I learned so much. My tone of voice was often perceived by others that I was angry. I wasn't angry! I thought I was just trying to make my point clearly. Especially with my wife and kids. At other times friends would say I sounded "preachy." I hated that in me. My father was a Methodist preacher. He talked preachy all the time. And I had learned that from him. I truly believe that my harsh tone of voice drove people away from me. No wonder! I sounded like a Grouch when I really didn't mean to. I learned how to make easy changes in the tone of my voice and it has made a huge difference in my life. And the man on the tapes is so funny. He teaches with humor and His tone sounds so loving. MY tone NOW sounds more loving. I can now speak in business situations with authority without sounding angry or harsh. Great. Great is all I have to say. I am perceived now the way I intend to be perceived in all the different places of my life. My wife is so much more loving in return. The kids say, "Dad, somthing about you has changed." When they re-do the tapes onto CDs I'll buy them for my car. I never get tired of them.

I'd heard a lot about Rob's cross country bicycle oddessy, and was anxious to learn more about how to find water without turning on a tap and dumpster diving. Both topics and many others were thoroughly explored in the book.  He does a terrific job of laying out what needs to be done without coming off as preachy. I got a little sick of his routine praises of milk as "refreshing" and the lack of adjective diversity in the writing but overall I highly recommend this book.

Dr. Laura is amazing. I listen to her radio show a lot. I decided to try her books. This is the first one that I have read. She is incredibly smart, informative and insightful.  The book is written very well and full of amazing advice.  I truly have learned a lot from this book

I know Mickey and was mentioned in chapter 1.  The book was very interesting and informative.  He has had a lot to deal with, but through it all he has had Hope.  I'm glad he was willing to share his journey with us.  I learned a lot.  A lot of people had similar journeys and we need to understand.  Thanks for sharing, Mickey.

Really learned a lot from reading the answers to others questions, I plan to get his other books because it's obvious he takes time to answer each question and give explicit terminology so the author has a better understanding of the situation.

I've been a ham and an electronics repairman for a long time, and I just found out much I didn't know as i read the book,  But I've learned a lot and found it very helpful.

I have listened to Ed Feng's podcast and read many of his articles over the past couple of years and finally made the time to read this book. From what I can tell Ed seems like a very smart guy and for that reason I really try to take what he says and learn from it. As someone who loves statistics the ideas presented in this book were not necessarily new or unheard of to me, but the way in which Ed presents the material makes the points he's making easy to digest and apply in real life. I would love to see him come out with a more in depth book on similar topics so that I can learn even more. I look forward to applying the principles I did learn to my tournament brackets this year.
