Pretty straightforward stuff - American Blues Guitar in 6 Weeks: Week 2 - Johnny Winter review by RP
A few weeks ago I rented Week 1 of this course, so I've been waiting expectantly...
I'm a beginner (although I've had 'proper' lessons) and I've been playing for 9-10 months. I have to say that I found most of the material on this DVD pretty straightforward - but then perhaps that's because when I said I wanted to play blues guitar, my tutor gave me the E minor and A minor pentatonic scales to learn, so little of the basic material on either of the first two DVDs in the series is new. The licks (on this DVD, claimed to be in the style of Johnny Winter) need somewhat more practice but these too are fairly straightforward.
I certainly don't think there's enough 'meat' here for a whole week's worth of practice - but I'll persevere and order up the next one in the series. 3/5 stars.
[Aside: You should be aware that there's a lot of 'filler' material on this DVD in the form of ads for and extracts from other 'Lick Library' DVD products. I have sampled the 'Learn To Play Peter Green' 2-disc DVD set and it's pretty good - but I'd prefer it if each DVD wasn't stuffed full of so many product trailers. But hey, it's a commercial world out there...]
