Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Strange production this is.There's too much time showing full shots of the guy playing guitar, not an effective way of readingwhat the guy is playing.The best is when there's a close up of the slide on the neck.Duh.Shouldn't there be at least some explanation as to which strings are being used?The "instructor" seems to have more of an "I can play like Muddy, but don't expect me to show you how" attitude.Yea there's a little booklet, but if you don't know how to read tabs, you're even more confused.The production value is really lousy--looks like someone said, "I'll pay you a few bucks to sit here and play.We'll package it as an instruction video" with little thought as to whether you could really use this dvd.Yea, you'll pick up a few tricks, but it's pretty hard to watch it too many times because of all the stupid gab--"I have a picture of me when I was 18 trying to play this song."How many times can you sit through that one before you just say, I'd rather listen to Muddy and pick it up directly from the master.Lots of used copies available, and for good reason.

Product Description:
Arguably the heaviest bluesman ever, Muddy Waters literallyelectrified the Chicago blues world with the 1948 release of his first single on Chess Records ("I Can't Be Satisfied"). By taking the Robert Johnson and Son House-inspired acoustic Delta blues that he had played in Mississippi and firing it up with raw amplification, he created the blueprint for generations of Chicago blues players. Bob Margolin played guitar in Muddy Waters' band for seven years in the '70s, absorbing his music first-hand. In this DVD, he shares the secrets of Muddy's solo guitar and ensemble work and covers slow blues, boogie blues, slide guitar and guitar bass lines in standard and open tunings. Bob even plays an original song that he wrote as a tribute to his former mentor.Includes the songs: Blow Wind Blow - I Can't Be Satisfied - Rollin' and Tumblin' - Big Leg Woman - Kind Hearted Woman - and more. As a special bonus, this DVD includes rare performance footage of Muddy. 52 minutes.
