DVD Reviews of DVD-Rory Block Teaches the Guitar of Robert Johnson
DVD Review: blues goddess teaches Robert Johnson
Summary: 5 Stars
Rory Block is a goddess. I love the blues, all of it, Chicago, country, Delta, whatever. Rory Block is the blues. It is deep in her soul. It is what makes her get up in the morning. It is her breath, her blood, her bones. She is beautiful to watch, because she is in love. She is in love with the blues. She's a freakin' awesome player. She's got Soul. She knows Robert Johnson. Her lessons are clear, logical, simple, practical and cool as hell. I always dug Robert Johnson's playing but had NO idea how I could ever approach it as a slide player. It was just utterly intimidating. Rory, being brilliant, in a Zen kind of way, breaks it down, step by step, as any good music teacher would, so that even a dunderhead like me can work it out. And it's the style, the sound, the vibe, the UGH! UGH! UGH! that James Brown has that she conveys in her approach to getting together some chops that Robert Johnson and his peers developed and blessed the century with. She's gorgous, wonderful, humble, real, cool, talented (WAY!), devoted and totally comforting as a teacher. I tend to hate music teachers, but I LOVE Rory Block. You will too. Check out her web site too, she has a discography to die for. John Wilder

Learn to play the guitar style of the most influential Delta blues artist of all time!

On this exciting, jam-packed DVD lesson, the award-winning contemporary blues singer and guitarist Rory Block completely demystifies the licks, runs, strums, bass lines, turnarounds and other important guitar elements that combine to make up the unique Robert Johnson sound.Working in open G and D tunings, Rory provides a series of informational keys ? specific guitar techniques that "open doors and unlock information" to allow you to play any song in Robert Johnson?s repertoire. She works with you on getting a good slide sound, and details the percussive picking and strumming skills you?ll need to achieve that special Robert Johnson feel. Rory discusses blues singing style, provides fascinating insights into the Mississippi blues, and shows how to establish the energy, drive and motivation that will make you a funkier, more interesting player.
