DVD Reviews of DVD-Slide Guitar For Rock & Blues

DVD Review: Its OK, but not great. Better for licks than learning slide concepts.
Summary: 3 Stars

Roy can certainly play, he is 8 times grammy nominated. However, this particular DVD is from 1992, and that shows...it looks more like a video tape than a DVD, in terms of picture quality. I'm going to see him soon in Sacramento and that will be fun, I'm sure. However...

The instructional design of this DVD isn't great - its more like Roy sat down to be taped and just talked through a few things then played some song parts and licks. Mostly, this is a collection of licks to songs, in Roy's style. The "conceptual" material is quite abbreviated. It basically includes brief reference to types of slides, open E tuning, muting with palm edge, and I think that was about it. Too often, the comments were like...I use either a glass slide or a metal slide but you can use whatever you want. Also more than one instance of...oh yes and I wanted to mention this...as if there were no script and no plan for this - which I find too easy to believe.

If you are looking for slide instruction that will help you understand what you need in a guitar for slide, different types of slides, different open tunings and which ones to start with, and learning the basics of slide, I would recommend instead looking at Mel Bay's "Getting into Slide Guitar", which is a book with a CD. It will serve you much better than this DVD.

But if you just want to watch some slide and hear a little perspective, this is OK. At the $26 price point, I think this is priced about double what it should be. It seems like it was put together as a small independent project by a company with no instructional design resources, just a camera and Roy. It shows.
