If you follow your very first link and read carefully he does call it:

John McLaughlin: This Is The Way I Do It 

Which is pretty close to the way you thought it should be I think. :-)
Yes, it would've been a little arrogant to say "this is THE way..." but 
looking closer that's not what the title is. It's "...the way I do it"
so it allows for his own idiosyncrasies (which are not going 
to be universals).

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has checked this DVD 
out and what their thought were on it too.
