DVD Reviews of Country Blues Guitar In Open Tunings
DVD Review: Another 5 Star DVD from Grossman!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another 5 Star Grossman DVD!
This is another in his series on the Blues (see my reviews on How to Play the Blues, Volumes 1-3)>
If you have experienced Grossman before, skip the review and get the DVD. If you are new to Grossman, he is, like so many others, a gift musician. But what sets him apart is that he is also a gifted guitar teacher. Able to anticipate struggles of his students, he will pause and repeat himself carefully. Another dominant theme for Grossman is to build "line upon line, precept upon precept" where he builds, one lick at a time, entire songs. This is most evident on his 3 DVD series on How to Play the Blues in which one song is carefully chosen as a stepping stone to another. "Blues Solos" which is another great DVD follows in this pathway, but is best left to those who finish the first 3 volumes. Next, for those who love the opening tune of most of his DVDs, comes Open Tunings, "Vestapol", which is the first song he teaches!
Taking nothing for granted, he even teaches the proper method to tuning the guitar (not just relying upon an electronic tuner) and carefully shows some simple chord changes. He then builds upon this foundation which will carry you throughout the DVD. He does not rush, though a careful use of the pause button is essential for DVD lessons, and takes the student through some exciting sounds in Open Tunings.
Are you ready for this DVD?
If you are familiar with the blues and can play the alternating bass, then you are ready, though I strongly urge his series recommended above, as the three steps to this DVD. Blues Solos follows nicely in this pattern.
All in all, another 5 star DVD from Grossman. One one DVD, you are provided with weeks, or perhaps based upon your own schedule, MONTHS of professional guitar lessons by one of the world's finest blues guitarists and instructors. There are many DVDs on the market from the world's best players, but if they don't possess the gift of teaching, you will find yourself only mimicking; not learning. The ability to take the information and present it to the student in a way that not only the student grasps it, but is excited to play, is what a gifted teacher does. Stefan Grossman is a highly skilled instructor.
