DVD Reviews of DVD-Dr John Teaches New Orleans Piano -Lesson One
DVD Review: Not for beginners
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a beginner and i can already play a few blues piano things thanks to the homespun dvd of david bennett cohen. he is a very good teacher and explains techniques over and over again until you understand them!
unfortunately dr. john is not really a teacher kind of guy. he's a very talented player, no doubt. but the fact that the producer Happy Traum had to sit next to him during the shooting to squeeze some techniques out of him already shows you right from the beginning that dr. john is not really there for teaching you anything. he's just doing what he can do best: playing and talking about fellow blues musicians!
this dvd is definately not for beginners, more advanced players might get some interesting stuff out of it, i didn't...
DVD Review: dr john lesson 1
Summary: 3 Stars
The dvd contained some great tunes and overhead shots of Dr. John's playing technique, but I found the transcriptions to be less than accurate. I transferred the audio track I was interested in learning to a file and used my SlowDowner to digest the tune. If you have a basic understanding of the blues and already know some licks, the dvd will be helpful. In any case, it still is great to listen to.DVD Review: Great for experienced piano players
Summary: 4 Stars
Dr. John is not going to teach you how to play. In fact, he's not going to teach you anything, but if you can learn by watching his hands, then you will gain a lot. I've learned a ton of new licks just by watching him play. But if you're anything other than an advanced blues player already, you're not likely to gain from this DVD.DVD Review: Doctor John Teaches New Orleans Piano
Summary: 5 Stars
Very much into the New Orleans blues and get down boogie woogie . Doctor John has listened closely to the great New Orleans piano players and he is now a great one and legend in his own right .If you cherish plain get down earthy blues and a boogie woogie beat then this DVD is for you . Doc John also teaches you about the so rich black music culture still cooking in New Orleans . Suggest you purchase both volumes of his DVD's on this subect you will not regret .DVD Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is for anyone who truly wants to learn how to play blues piano properly. Dr. John is a fantastic musician with an outstanding repertoire. Perhaps the only downside is that not all of the songs are transcibed which is a pity, especially with Swanee River Boogie, but that shouldn't deter anyone from buying this DVD. He is a true master and the opportunity to have him personally show you how to play blues piano should not be passed up. Absolutely fantastic!
