DVD Reviews of DVD-Dr John Teaches New Orleans Piano -Lesson One
DVD Review: Lots of content for 1 hour
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not so much a piano lesson as much as it is a dense style resource. If you are willing to make ample use of pause and replay, there are several years worth of licks, turnarounds and left hand riffs to extract from this hour-long DVD. You get a helpful top view of the keyboard so you can see notes and fingering (I agree - a working familiarity of blues piano and N.O. piano is helpful - I recommend Jeffrey Gutcheon's out of print 'Improvising Rock Piano') and you also occasionally get side views, so you can see the technique of his hands, which I thought was very helpful when studying the technique of his piano rolls and trills (he sometimes anchors the 3rd finger and rolls the thumb and 5th finger, for example). You also get some interesting variations on the I-IV-V blues progression and a showcase of the range of expression in N.O. Blues - from legato and gospel-like to a hammering, rock style.
Even just for entertainment, the DVD is a pleasure to just watch as an unaccompanied performance. Watch Dr John emulate Allen Toussaint close up. Doesn't get any better than that!
