This is one of my favorite guitar instructional disks featuring two of my all time favorite players - the blues legend T-Bone Walker and modern whiz Duke Robillard.
First up, the song's covered:
You Don't Love Me
Love Is A Gamble
T-Bone Shuffle
T-Bone Boogie
I Get So Weary
This is an AWESOME DVD! My hype aside, if you would like to get a glimpse into T-Bone's seminal blues guitar style, this is a good place to start (aside from listening to his many recordings, 'natch;). Duke shows various 7th and 9th chord vamps, progressions and turnarounds that you can use and mutate into virtually any modern style blues playing you care to. Covered are both major and minor blues/chords and T-Bone's approach to lead playing over these type progressions. Duke is a master guitarist and it's easy to just put on the disc and kickback and watch his smooth playing of the material. I always learn something new, some new nuance I over-looked on each viewing, so this DVD will keep giving you the goods time and time again. I recommend it highly.
One quick note - T-Bone's style and feel is all about letting the groove "swing", so be prepared to get loose! He was a dancer before he became a guitar playing and the man knows how to play with feel. Enjoy!
This is a Hal Leonard release and is available from Amazon.Com through the links on this site.
