What a treat to sit in with Doc! It's kind of a hoot trying to watch his left hand since he holds down extra strings with one finger. As a result his chord shapes don't look like anybody else's, and it's hard to tell what he's doing by looking. So you have to listen very hard too, and that really works your ear. His complex interpretations of traditional tunes and ballads -- with bluesy accents and a light swing feel -- are lessons to keep the curious guitarist very very happy.
John Cleese is always fun to watch, and there were definitely some good basic tips in the program, especially how to describe the taste of wines that you like so you can get more of it. However, the wines investigated were limited to California. I would have liked to hear a little about Spanish wines and some other varietals. According to this video, they don't exist -- the Californocentric world view of wine.
There's a lot more in this video than you can learn in one week. Each section could be a good lesson, to practice for a week, then move on to the next one. Just one nit -- I wish he'd included Blackberry Blossom on his list of fiddle tunes.
