DVD Reviews of Nancy Wilson - Instructional Acoustic Guitar DVD
DVD Review: But.... I Love EVERYTHING Nancy does!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge Nancy Wilson fan so just the fact that Nancy did the video required me to purchase it. It was great having the focus on Nancy while she chats about her music and plays guitar. It felt very "Up close and personal". I loved every minute of it. However; trying to follow her "instruction" made me realize I am incapable of re-creating anything Nancy does on her guitar. She is just too far out of my league. I thought I was a pretty decent acoustic guitar player until I watched this video. Not even her verbal explanations and visual demonstrations enabled me to play these songs with any confidence. Because of my faith that Ms. Wilson is perfect..... the fault must lie with me. DVD Review: Great instruction from an excellent musician and teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of the Wilson sisters for 30 years. When I was a teenager Heart, and especially Nancy Wilson, showed me that it was ok for girls to rock. I've played their music in my live shows and just for fun at home since then, but I never did it correctly until now. Nancy does an excellent job of clearly explaining her methods on several popular Heart songs. I had a blast practicing along with her easy-to-understand instructions. This material is definitely not for beginners, but if you're an intermediate player or better you will love this DVD. Besides learning the proper way to play many of Heart's greatest hits, Nancy shares her great guitar philosophy and healthy approach towards musical expression and composition. It's already had a very positive influence on my own songwriting efforts. Keep an open mind and let this into your muse. Thanks Nancy!DVD Review: Somewhat informative
Summary: 4 Stars
While its true this video does explain how to play the most popular of Nancy's acoustic licks and you get to see her play them, its mostly an interview style way to look at Nancy Wilson and have depraved thoughts. She does perform " These Dreams "
unaccompanied on the guitar and it sounds killer!
DVD Review: Bought for my husband. He LOVED it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband who is an accomplished guitarist and bass player. He loves Heart and was trying to get some of the licks just right. I stumbled across this on Amazon and bought it for him a little concerned that it would be too elementary for him which is often the case. But, he loved it. He was challenged and immediately set out to master her technique. She is casual and easy to listen too. He has not gotten bored with it and has just about gotten down the first one or two and is still progressing. It probably isn't for the newest beginner, however if they like a challenge it is clear and concise and they would learn something from it. I would think almost anyone who likes to place the guitar would benefit from this, unless of course you are Edgar Cruze!!DVD Review: Disappointed with Nancy Wilson "Instruction" Video
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed with this DVD. I was expecting to actually learn something. Instead this video consists of Nancy talking conversationally while playing through the songs with little explanation. I learned no more about how to play Heart songs than if I'd just watched her play on an MTV music video. She never leads you through a song and actually teaches it.
The tab booklet is very sparse and provides short 4 or 8 measure bits and some chord diagrams from certain songs but not enough to actually play something worthwhile. Essentially, the booklet is useless.
I was interested in learning the correct way to play the "Crazy On You Intro" (which I've played for years but wondered if I really was doing it her way) and "Silver Wheels" (which I`d still like to learn, but definitely not from this video). When she does address "Crazy on You" and "Silver Wheels" both times she says "People are always asking me about how this goes" with a sideways glance as if to say "Wouldn't you like to know too; but I'm not telling".
The quality of the video is poor. It is very washed-out looking and pretty much shades of brown (I'm surprised the Hal Leonard Company would publish a video with such a substandard picture quality). The photo of Nancy on the video cover is indicative of the video quality; like a over-exposed Polaroid picture.
Nancy herself is pleasant and talented. I really think this video could have been worthwhile if more time were spent on the booklet and the video, taking the time to explain what she is doing (which fret, which string) play sections through slowly so you are able to reproduce what she is playing (that's what a lesson/instruction is).
I believe very little preparation went into this video. I appears as though the material is un-rehearsed and just coming off the top of her head.
I feel cheated and would really like my money back. This video is for those who may enjoy watching Nancy talk, play through songs and sing, but you won't learn much.
