DVD Reviews of Grateful Dead: A Step-by-step Breakdown of Grateful Dead's Guitar Styles and Techniques
DVD Review: Excellent, with reservations...
Summary: 4 Stars
I expected more than I got from this release.
Based upon the brief description given, I would've expected a more in-depth perspective-- i.e., some historical research, exposition and explanation regarding Jerry and Bob's approach to their playing within the band. (Perhaps I didn't read carefully enough before ordering.)
Instead, this is a step-by-step "how to do it right" manual for eight of their more well-known songs.
Which, actually, is ok.
The production quality is average at best, but the licks are right on.
To learn from this video, you will need to listen well, and be willing to rewind frequently.
While the pro player will not find much here, the beginner or intermediate player certainly will.
(In the interest of context: I'm 39 and have been a guitarist and musician for 25 years, amateur and professional.)
I would've been more interested in learning about how Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir wrote, and how their separate guitar parts worked together musically, and whether they actually ever *thought* about that or not than just seeing the parts displayed for reproduction, but maybe that's just me.
Despite my possibly negative tone, I still give this release 4 stars- because it *is* useful, and fairly well-done. The fact that I expected more does not diminish the value represented here.
So go ahead-- dust off those rusty strings.
Make 'em shine.
