[pedtrot]

She said "Fingering" Too funny. Internet killed the Video Stars. More educators on TV please, I miss these guys.

[jbrondos]

Thanks for posting this. I watched it years ago -- and it still teaches!

[drumzRfun1]

Yes!!!!!! I've been looking for this for years!! Finally!!

[dimaensionx]

Ugh - that horrible "cannon" snare drum - so common in the 1908's. These guys were all great musicians, though, and very helpful. I had the original book published for the first series.

[adamresyk2112]

Thanks so much for these memories!!

[chyrd]

I used to watch this show late at night... great show

[AgroDTOP]

Does anybody has the First Series ???? Where Can I buy These Series on DVD ?????

[gyro62]

 This is awesome, I used to watch this all the time, Realy cool ! They have to release these on DVD'S !!!

[couldbeshouldbe]

This should be revamped and brought up to date for todays generation of musicians. It helped me out loads when I was learning to play guitar 23 year or so ago. I sure todays novice musos would find it just as helpful and hell id watch it. Never too old to learn something new.

[after2burner]

Fantastic. I loved watching this. And I learned from it.

[bassatnight]

Love that old Yamaha BB5000 what a beauty!

[WatneyHeckbulb]

Love the fact that the DX21 gets replaced by a DX7 mid-series. Mafia money?

[fermicheddy]

fingering and coordination , so fucking funny . (4:20)

[HollywoodWags]

Loved this show! Thanks.

[joeeyeless]

I have uploaded the entire first series for everyone. Check out my videos, where you'll find it.

[caistervet]

I have 4 episodes on dvd from series one if anyone is interested!!!!!

[waitaminute991]

This was the greatest show! Please post more!

[jipsqueeny]

great idea for a show brings back so many memories but the presenters were a bit poo

[klistarf]

They may not have been the best presenters in the world but, my god, could they play! Pretty much EVERY genre of music. I loved 'Rockschool'! I think it's time someone made an updated series with the same format. Even better - bring back the original muso's (Deirdre, Geoff, Henry etc.) to present it! You never know - their presenting skills may have gotten better. Lol! (:o)

[YooTubeStillSux]

Which episode has Gary Moore with Jack Bruce ? I seem to remember Gary being on more than 1 episode, but only 1 with Jack Bruce ?

[bopkick5]

Henry Thomas is still de GREATEST

[zzzxtreme]

that is a kickass background. primitive 3D

i want that for my room

[dofane]

I used to watch this when I was 16 and learning bass ...I loved it

[MCHammersmith]

Damn I thought this was the proper Rock School :-(

[waterloo13]

This is the proper rock school: here you can learn something useful :-)

[mindstormsabrewin]

When I was a kid I thought Dierdre Cartwright was not only a great guitar player but really cute! What a great show! Kids today should have a modern show like this. Thank you for posting this. Brings back great memories.

[cvp1969]

Great to see Rockschool again ... finally.. but, season 1 was SO much better... it gave you the basics that are timeless when it comes to foundation of rock and roll... Series 2 is very dated as it concentrates on the then "modern" techniques...

[CTROCK]

this was a great show .

[folkyphill]

awsome music!! \m/

[Tubes12AX7k]

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss this show. What a great time.

[marc777danielle]

this show taught me so much. it was great.

[sadler603]

Any chance of getting series 1 on dvd or even vhs??

[crispiegee1]

Alastair Gavin and Henry (bassist) were the strong points of that band. Dierdre and Geoff (drummer) always seemed like marginal players.

I wonder what happened to Alastair... I googled him but couldn't find anything.

[MrBingethink]

Google "rock school" - it's a music examination body in the UK based on rock and pop styles. My son's just done his Debut grade at Drums, and I was amazed to find the pieces he has to play along to are played by Deirdre, Alastair and Henry from this BBC RockSchool show from back in the day!

[markyboyz1300]

gonna make myself look a twat here but what the hey , wheres season one please??????

[Shink5]

damn this is gay

tipical 80s bull shit:P

[wolfslinger]

Yeah, and if you had three brain cells left in your head you'd pay attention and maybe learn something you hack.

[captcarl2]

wow that girl is such a bowie ripoff

[wegreenall]

when the first person spoke, i was just sitting there thinking, OH MY THAT'S A GIRL!?

[UncleFeedle]

I only vaguely remember this, but watching it now, you realise how good it actually was. Plenty of gadget geekdom and real music for real musicians - no manufactured pop shit here. This episode is particularly appealing to synth anoraks like myself!

[stargate669]

please put some clothes under that anorak when you go out. We've had complaints.

[raffvids]

Extremely underrated series. This should be MANDATORY viewing for musicians starting out just as Preston Blair's Cartoon Animation is recommended for animators.

A lot of what's covered in Series 2 has been long forgotten, and boy are we paying for it today.

[altempo]

I too have been looking for this series for a long while. Is season 1 available? Have you seen either for sale?

[HollywoodWags]

This is awesome. Haven't seen this since it first aired.

Thanks!

[emaxxx4]

Gosh, I miss this!

[SVMDana]

Thank you for putting this stuff up! I've been looking for it forever!!

[muleboy1968]

The first jam sounds like an early It Bites B-side - brilliant!

[ghostgirlv3]

same here sadly mine are still on vhs

[wolvo66]

Great! It's not available on DVD/VHS is it?

[tomstimemachine]

I originally taped the series (8 episodes) off the TV back in 1988 and recently backed up my VHS copy to DVD (including Chapters).

I used to sell it on eBay a year ago.

[neckus22]

Your the king, I have been looking for this for the last 6 years. Used to have an episode of this on VHS

[radensaufi]

@tomstimemachine good way to earn money off other ppl copyrighted item,
