DVD Reviews of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Greatest Hits - Signature Licks DVD
DVD Review: This Instructor Can Play
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've read any of my other reviews, you'll know that I was a huge fan / admirer of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
And over the years, I've seen numerous transcriptions of his music in guitar magazines and have attempted to learn many of his songs.
However, this guy comes as close as is humanly possible to "replicating" the riffs of Stevie. He's a great guitar player and has obviously done his homework.
However, the one thing that can't be captured on an instructional DVD - and I throw this out not as a "negative" - is the "feel" behind Stevie's music.
Stevie's sound didn't come exclusively from his Number 1 Strat, Fender amps and heavy strings with the action set relatively high. Greg - the instructor on this tape - to his credit, uses a strat (tuned down a half a step a la SRV - and the same amps and effects pedals that SRV used - and comes close to getting the same sound.
But Stevie's sound came from his "attack" of the strings and his "in-your'face" attitude towards the blues. And no instructor can duplicate this. Stevie's sound came from his hands and his "soul".
I was reminding my wife that when we visited the Louvre many years ago, you would see many artists camped in front of a famous painting with their easel "copying" a painting of some master - i.e. Da Vinci or Rembrandt. And while many of them were great artists and to the untrained eye their work may be indistinguishable from the original, there would be a difference.
This DVD is similar. It comes very, very close, but there was only one SRV.
This DVD does pass along many insightful observations about SRV's style - i.e. SRV's Albert King like licks / his attack and popping style when attacking the strings - and, in my opinion, this was invaluable. However, for young guitarists, this DVD can save the player countless (possibly frustrating) hours trying to figure out how to play his licks armed with just a magazine.
I know that I came away with alot of new ideas and tools and I've spent years listening to Stevie and trying to learn his licks with guitar tab magazines.
If you're a fan of the blues and inparticular this gifted guitarist, I would not hesitate to recommend this DVD.
