Customer Reviews

Good basics but not much more
I am glad I got this because I had a few knots I really need help with. The videos are clearly shot but the gentlemen's hands are shaky which makes them sometimes hard to see what he is doing. The voice over is ok but it could be more helpful in describing what is happening in the videos. This is not a must have but an OK to have.
