DVD Reviews of Country Blues Guitar Vol. 3
DVD Review: Continued Excellence!
Summary: 5 Stars
NOTE: This is not Volume 3, but 3 volumes in one.
Stefan Grossman is known world wide as a blues expert, these DVDs reveal something entirely different: a very down to earth superstar who possesses something that not all those of world-class talent possess: the gift of teaching!
It is of very little value to see a guitar superstar sweep through licks and they "show" them to students. "Show" is not instruction. Grossman has been recognized by none other than Martin Guitar with a signature guitar in his honor. Yet, for all of his accomplishments, it is easy to overlook the gift of teaching he possesses. What does this exactly mean?
It means that we, the students, can expect him to break down material into small, easy to digest pieces. He skillfully anticipates where students will need a boost, where to pause the DVD, when to listen to a performance, and when to press on.
One of the most dominant themes in Stefan's DVD teachings is this: As you learn a song, whether you like it or not, LEARN IT. As you progress into the next song, and the next song, and the next, you will find that he has chosen the songs very, very carefully, as each one builds upon the other. If you go ahead to song #3, having skipped the first two, it will not flow as easily as if it did when you follow his instructions. He is a professor who KNOWS how to teach. Listen to him. Follow instructions. Use the pause button generously. Do not skip anything.
Then, go out and get everything this gem of a man has recorded. He presents with no blaring ego, and even turns a bit red when he attempts to sing. His humility shines through as he easy personality gently takes you for a learning ride on an easy curve. For fun, you can start the DVD at the last song, be a bit overwhelmed, and then go back and start at song one. By the end, you will be so pleased with your progress.
Better yet, keep a journal of your progress. Write down what you studied, how you did, what you did not like, what you liked...everything. One DVD purchase from Stefan Grossman may translate into 3 months of private lessons with one of the world's top blues craftsman. I cannot say whether or not he is a better performer or better teacher: it is virtually indistinguishible. The DVD is that good.
I suggest "How to Play Blues Guitar" Vol 1 through Vol 3. By the time you have finished volume 3, you will be immeasurably pleased with your progress and thoroughly addicted to Grossman's teaching. He is that one teacher in high school that got through to you and made learning exciting!
