DVD Reviews of Guitar Signature Licks: T-Bone Walker
DVD Review: Requires Work on the Part of the User
Summary: 3 Stars
I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the chords used in the DVD on a simple, but elegant chord progression. I still don't have them down exactly, but I wrote down what I thought he was playing. The tab included, Example 4, is titled, "Chord Forms Similar to those on 'You Don't Love Me'." I am a little frustrated.
I am familiar with chord substitutions, alternate voicings, and other techniques for spicing up rhythms, and I even realize that making me actively hunt and analyze the progression will be more helpful in the end, but I just don't have that much time right now. So, while I loved the instructor's guitar playing and verbal instruction, at this point in my guitar "career" (been playing 3 and 1/2 years), I just want to learn the song exactly and concentrate on playing it fluently and flawlessly. This DVD made it hard to fulfull this need because I can't just look at the chords, I have to spend a lot of time figuring them out.
But for those who don't care about using the exact chord voicings used by Mr. Robillard, or who have the time to analyze what the incomplete tab is trying to portray, then I think the DVD should receive five stars! You WILL have the tools to be able to recreate the T-Bone Walker style of playing and the DVD will help give you an ear for this style of playing.
But for guys like me, the extra work required limited it effectiveness. So just make sure you know what your are looking for in this instructional DVD. For me, its greatest strength was that Duke played a lot, giving me a concentrated earful of that T-Bone Walker guitar style. For this reason, I would buy it again if given the choice. But as it stands right now, I can't go through it nearly as quickly as I would have been able to if they would have supplied comprehensive tab. But that's just me.

Description of Guitar Signature Licks: T-Bone Walker
Known as the Father of Electric Blues Guitar, T-Bone Walker has influenced virtually every blues, jazz and rock guitarist from B.B. King, Kenny Burrell, and Chuck Berry to Jimi Hendrix. His tasty, economical, and expressive lead lines have come to define the essence of cool blues guitar soloing, and the power of his dramatic and soulful phrasing is undiminished by the passage of time. In this DVD, T-Bone Walker expert and Roomful of Blues founder Duke Robillard reveals all of the major aspects of T-Bone's style, note-for-note, chord-for-chord, and with Duke's 30 years of experience showing through. Songs include You Don't Love Me; Love Is a Gamble; T-Bone Shuffle; T-Bone Boogie; and I Get So Weary. 57 minutes..Blues Music CDs
