DVD Reviews of Freddie King
DVD Review: Inaccurate, Weak Instruction
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to learn how to play The Stumble, so I purchased this DVD along with the book The Freddie King Collection (Guitar Recorded Version). What I quickly realized is that the book was very accurate, with just a few mistakes in the TAB, but the DVD was not accurate at all. Duke Robillard performs the song(s) well, but if you compare it to the Freddie King recording there are many differences. He also plays many notes in different positions than the book, making it difficult to use the DVD to complement the book. Listening to the Freddie King recording, I think the positions in the book are more accurate than what's on the DVD.
I said he "performs" the songs, which is really the biggest problem with this DVD. He's not really teaching you how to play the songs, he's showing you, but he often does not go slowly enough or provide enough explanation for you to be able to easily follow. I found myself having to constantly rewind the DVD to try to figure out what he was playing. A certain amount of rewinding is expected, but when I buy an instructional DVD I expect more instruction than this.
In the DVD case, there was a TAB key, which explained what certain TAB notations mean, but there was no TAB for the songs. Bizarre.
For these reasons the DVD was basically worthless to me. I used the book and the Freddie King recording (slowed down) to learn The Stumble.

Description of Freddie King
The most virtuosic blues King, big bad Freddie was a spectacular guitarist as well as a first-rate singer and accomplished songwriter. As a transplanted Texan who moved to Chicago in the '50s, Freddie rubbed shoulders with the likes of Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, and Magic Sam. Freddie's vast repertoire of blues classics offers cool hooks, hot solos, and foot-tapping rhythms for the contemporary electric guitarist. In this DVD, Host Duke Robillard (Roomful of Blues, Fabulous Thunderbirds) gives invaluable insights into the style of this legendary guitarist. He takes you through a select group of Freddie's greatest songs (Hideaway, San-Ho-Zay, The Stumble, and Sen-sa-shun) lick by lick, revealing the inner workings of this master musician. Rare performance footage is also included as a special bonus! 54 minutes.Blues Music CDs
