Movie Review: Watch & Learn
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no one like Johnny A. I never travel far without his music in my car or on my IPod. I play him at public events and am always asked "Who is this?" And I say, "The best guitarist...ever." I'm old enough to have seen Duane Eddy, Bucky Pizzarelli, Hendrix, Clapton, the Ventures (with Bob Bogle and Nokie Edwards sharing lead), Wes Montgomery, Alvin Lee, Jerry Miller, Peter Green, and Neil LaVange (Yes! From Lawrence Welk [also a session musician for Zappa's "Freak Out"--the Mothers first record]), and dozens of other masters. But Johnny A, in honoring his muses, does them proud by creating melodic, dynamic and performance master themes and nuances that free guitar music from the gravity of the joyless, luckless club of speed and one-upmanship which obsess most guitarists. Johnny A conjures what William Wordsworth would call the "lyric moment," where the emotion conjured by the poet profound, conjures an emotion profound in the listener. He'll get your pulse running with a ripp-off riff and then macrame harmonic tones and unusually carved melodies around themes that build on previous subtle nuances that explode the form and create anew something original and memorable. I've seen him live four times and he is even greater in person. And you can tell he's a humble student of his instrument. He stands by himself as the master of tone and never shortchanges his music by making room tone a cursory acoustic of the room. He's also a lot of fun live, invoking a medley of styles and stances and doing it with humor and respect. This instructional video is well conceived and honors anyone who wants to study guitar. Johnny A is articulate, patient and unabashedly enthusiastic about guitar instruction. It's a great and unusually detailed DVD for any level of guitar playing.
