Movie Reviews of DVD-Learn To Play Blues Piano #2
Movie Review: Perfect for New Orleans Piano
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the title suggests that this is primarily instruction in blues, Cohen spends a lot of time on New Orleans style piano in the tradition of Professor Longhair, James Booker, and Doctor John, which I love. He even has a great zen quote on New Orleans blues: "It's very simple music: but that does not mean it is easy to play." He takes it slowly, but you still need to be equipped with a laptop or portable dvd player sitting on top of your piano and one finger on the pause button. Compared to other instructional videos, this one you can actually figure out what notes he is playing and the proper syncopation; his theory instruction is useful (I suggest first spending some time getting familiar with basic theory: scales, intervals, and standard "fake book" chording and inversions). I contrast this instructional video to Dr. John's videos which are dazzling but downright comical in his inability to tell you how he did it.
