DVD Review: A livin legend
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful dvd. I have always been intriged by George Benson (the person and his view point with reference to the guitar). If you are expecting the usual instructional footage, think twice about getting this dvd, also the dvd would not suit beginners, its geared to intermediate and advanced players. I have most of the jazz guitar dvds out there, but this one is the best for me. Gearge simply sits down and plays and lets you in on the person that makes him such a wonderful entertainer. I learnt soo much from this lesson, he also has a great sense of humor. I started watching this dvd with guitar in hand, but a few minutes in, I forgot about the guitar and just absorbed the lesson. There is a lot in there to learn from, if you are the type that does not need to be shown stuff. You need to sit and pick out from this lesson what you want. Theres no denying Benson's mastery of the instrument. He is a beautiful person too. He is a natural entertainer. You can invite your family and friends to watch this dvd with you.
This type of dvd works for me, but it might not be everybody's cup of tea, cause if you are expecting to be hand held, or specific instructions, this dvd is not for you.
I concur with the other reviewer, and i wish all intruction dvds were like this one.
Thank you Hot Licks for putting this out (kudos to you).
I was disappointed though that you did not take the time out to put down the complete exercises in the booklet, i find myself trying to learn the rest from the dvd, well maybe thats a good thing.
Once again folks, George is a living legend, a must dvd for the serious player.
I had no choice but to put five stars, this dvd is easily ten stars, its off the chart.
