Dear computer video user,
Using digital videos to learn new skills like playing guitar, is the most exciting advance since computers were invented.

The big problem is that most of the benefit is lost if you don't have the ability to loop, slow down and repeat small sections of videos and maintain the pitch so that the sound is unchanged.

It's no good slowing down a music tuition video for example if the voiceover sounds like Darth Vader on tranquilizers and the instrument sounds like a 'wound down' gramophone.

Video viewing software like Windows Media Viewer and Real Player are designed to be multi purpose and, to be fair, they do a pretty good job most of the time.

But no one ever designed a video viewing program that was specialist enough to do the very specific job of slowing, looping and repeating for the sole purpose of learning a new skill.

But......that's all changed now.



THIS BIT IS VERY IMPORTANT

My original creation of SloMoDirector has now been superceded and this new product is bigger and better (and cheaper). What you'll get is a set of videos on how to use a new open source application to do everything that SloMoDirector did and a whole lot more.

You COULD learn to do this on your own without purchasing Video Trickery BUT......I've spent months delving into how this system works and applying it specifically to learning guitar.....and I'm passing all that information on to you for a mere $14

So like I say, you COULD learn to do all this on your own...but you'd be mad to even think about it.



'The Human Brain As A Progammable Computer'

There is a part of the human brain, situated at the back of the head, called the cerebellum. This is known as the 'motor region' and is where our automatic human processes are taken care of.

To give you an idea, our 'blink repsonse' is part of this motor mechanism stored in the cerebellum. Blinking is something we never need to think about, good job really or we'd all be walking round with bits of garbage in our eyes.

Reflex Actions need no 'thought'

Our reflexes are stored there so that when we touch something hot....we don't need someone to tell us to move our hand. It is a reflex action.

Our reflexes are obviously 'hard wired' into the brain at birth, following half a million years worth of evolution.

What about learning new skills?

Well, interestingly, any kind of new physical skill (like playing guitar for example) is stored in the cerebellum along with our 'hard wired' behaviour.

If we just keep repeating . .
amazing things happen

The way that new skills are learned is by repeating the behaviour multiple times. This causes our brain cells (neurons) to form new links with other brain cells.

The links become 'permanent' after enough repetitions and we are then able to perform the new skill, without thinking, whenever we wish.

Skillful Actions with No 'Thought'

That is how we explain the phenomena of being able to ride a bike...even if we haven't ridden one for years.

If we take away concepts like 'musicality' and 'interpretation' then learning to play a musical instrument, at least early on, is a set of physical actions.

Using SloMoDirector© means you can watch, copy and perfect those actions, at your own speed (some people take longer for the programming to take place, but interestingly also, they usually retain the skill for longer, go figure...) until the behaviour, in this case, playing guitar, becomes programmed into the cerebellum.



Imagine there was a teacher who could show you some new skill you were trying to learn, at any speed you wanted, as often as you wanted . . . . over and over and over again and never get bored. What would happen to your learning curve?

Do you think that you'd even give a thought to how you'd achieved any of this when you are there playing song-after-song-after-song.

I bet nobody would ever guess that you had used modern computer technology to learn how to make music.



These testimonials are talking about SloMoDirector...Video Trickery is even better than this

SloMo installed and worked flawlessly. Very satisfied with your product.

As a beginner with some knowledge on fingerpicking, I was having a problem trying to keep up with exactly what you were doing on The Boxer.

Using SloMo, I was able to figure it out and within a couple hours, I had the entire song down exactly like you performed it on the video.

Very happy with the software and thanks alot for providing it.

. . . . but have not been able to find anything that worked.

Mike,


Viewed your demo; immediately purchased and installed the Slow-Mo product.Tried it out for about a minute and absolutely love it!

I am somewhat of a computer junkie and I have been trying different things to get the lessons slowed down a bit, but have not been able to find anything that worked.

I know you put a lot of thought, time and effort into this new product and I thank you for making it available.

It should prove to be successful and I trust it will exceed your expectations.

Best regards,

. . . . . after slowing it down and putting it on repeat 10 times I had it down pat,


Hi Mike,


   I purchased  your SloMoDirector and I've got to say, how simple, obvious but so clever!.

I think that only someone like you, who can think outside of the square could think of something as brilliant as SloMoDirector, congratulations and very well done.

 I used the SMD on a simple strumming pattern tutorial ( "Always on My Mind", one of your strumming videos) that I could not get to sound right, but after slowing it down and putting it on repeat 10 times I had it down pat, and was playing along with you at a slower speed,  and we were both in correct pitch

 It reminded me of what a teacher once told me, " play it many times at a slower speed until you've got it perfect" this I can now do whilst playing along with the video. I'll say again this program is brilliant!

 
Thanks again Mike and the very best of luck,

Kind regards,

. . . . . . . suddenly have been given a new lease on learning


Mike,

Well done mate! This SloMoDirector is just what was needed to aid guitarists, both beginner and advanced. I (we) can't thank you enough. Just imagine, being able to slow down, and loop sections of videos by Hendrix, Clapton, Vai, Satriani; Gary and Vinnie Moore to name a few.
 
Wow! How about having Segovia show you slowly and loopfully (Have I just invented a new word?) his masterful technique? Now there's something to get those Classical riffs under your fingers a little easier.
 
I just realized that those teaching videos that get us all frustrated because the teacher just says "Play it like this" and rattles off the riffs so as you can't really follow the fingering; suddenly have been given a new lease on learning.I can see this being a great aid to all types of teaching videos. The programme is just amazing Mike.
 
I think you may of found that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow my friend.
 
Thank you so much for making this.
 
Cheers!!

The more I thought about it the more I realised that this video learning aid can be used is tons of different areas...not just learning to play guitar. . . how about videoing yourself . . .

Piano - Dancing - Skating - Snowboarding - Hockey Martial Arts - Magic Tricks - Saxophone . . .
  • Rip your existing DVD's . Save them and manipulate them using Video Trickery

 

  • Capture Streaming Videos from Websites. Save them and manipulate them using Video Trickery

Is Video Trickery right for you?

Who is Video Trickery aimed at?

You should buy Video Trickery  . . .

If you learn faster by 'watching and doing' rather than reading and imagining. We are all different but many people find that they can learn much more quickly by taking a 'hands on' approach.

If you are not a 'book learner'. Many people don't get on well with things that are written down. I get emails from people who are trying to learn guitar using just tabs.
A typical email is...'I just don't get it'. Well with SloMoDirector you can watch the action over and over then, if you want to, you can compare what is going on 'on-screen' to what is written down in the tabs.

If you are already pretty acomplished but you just want to speed up the process. As we get older and more experienced in life we learn that the act of learning is based on repetitions. Life teaches us that we can do almost anything, if we have enough determination. The thing about SloMo is...it just makes things a LOT easier to learn and so you can learn a LOT more in the same anmount of time.

If you are just plain lazy. Lets not make any bones about this. There are always 'hard ways' and 'easy ways' to do things. My experience is that the hard way is often the best way but . . . .  some things in life are best if we can just find an easy way to learn them.

If you can't afford or simply don't want to go to a teacher. I spoke to Jerry my guitar teaching buddy the other day (Jerry has been teaching guitar for 20 years).

I said 'Jerry, how many times does a student need to visit you on average to learn a moderately complex piece of guitar?'

He couldn't give me an exact figure but reckoned it would be a minimum of 5 or 6 One Hour Lessons. The Cost of that? Anything from $200 up to $400...to learn One New Piece?

 . . . and I'm sure there are many other benefits to using
Video Trickery . . . but you get the idea.
