Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, Bob Margolin played with Muddy Waters. Yes, he knew the man. Yes, his guitar playing is dead on. And yes, this DVD will give you an insight into how to play like Muddy.
This DVD is not for beginners, unless you want to buy it and practice with it for a few years. But if you're already playing some blues [especially the worn out, trite, SRV kind] and want a change, this DVD will absolutely affect your life in a very positive way.
The teaching style is more of - "I can do it and here's how it's done." Not much explaining. It's more like "I played it, now you play it." But what more could you ask for? Do you think Muddy or Robert Johnson, would have made a "Here's how to play like me" DVD. Nope. Legend has it that RJ turned his back to play so no one could see what he was doing. But I digress ...
The cool thing is that this is a DVD. So you can pause, rewind, slow down, and repeat specific parts until you are close to Bob, who is close to Muddy. Then when you're close, you can blend it with your own style (please) and let yourself come out in the music.
This DVD covers Muddy's Open G slide style ("I Can't Be Satisfied"), his standard tuning finger picking delta blues style ("Kind Hearted Woman"), his up-tempo standard tuning blues (here as "Main Street", but I prefer "Stuff You Gotta Watch"), and [MY FAVORITE] his standard tuning slide style.
I started playing standard tuning slide along with Mr. Margolin and I was in heaven! I couldn't stop. Big Legged Woman ... Keep your dress down ... you got something, darlin ... Make a Bulldog of a hound ... I like animals ...
This DVD gets a 4 star rating only because the tab pamphlet that came with it is not that great. It is about 80% accurate and doesn't include everything on the DVD, but why should it? My Guitar Signature Licks: BB King didn't even come with a tab pamphlet. I had to buy the matching book. But, if you're going to include it, do it right. Anyway ...
BOTTOM LINE: BUY THIS DVD
Summary of Guitar Signature Licks: Muddy Waters
Arguably the heaviest bluesman ever, Muddy Waters literally electrified 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.Similar DVD Movies
