Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an interesting DVD featuring bluesman Ronnie Earl as the instructor.There are multiple simultaneous views of Earl while he demonstrates what he is doing (including a shot of his intense facial expressions).The first part of the tape focuses on substitute chord voicings that Earl uses to make the changes interesting (6 chords, 9 chords, 13 chords, etc).The second part of the tape covers his style of soloing.The main point that Earl makes (and it is the way he learned to solo) is not to worry about copying solos note for note, but to get the feel of the solo.He advises playing along with such greats as Magic Sam and Otis Rush.As another reviewer wrote, Earl uses a minimum of notes to achieve a maximum of expression and urges the student to do the same.
This is not a beginner's video.If you have developed the feel for blues changes (eg, 12 bar blues), know your pentatonic scales, and want to add finesse to your blues, Earl is definitely an excellent player deserving your attention.
