Movie Reviews of Kenny Sultan : Guitar Blues
Movie Review: blues lesson
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent teaching tool for blues guitar - acoustic fingerstyle. Mr. Sultan grades the lessons from slow blues to fast-paced boogie to ragtime. He sensibly keeps it to 2 keys with the greatest concentration on E. I would say the lesson is best for intermediate players in that it helps to have a better than basic grasp of blues playing and the fingerstyle method. Mr. Sultan shares his knowledge of many standard licks and riffs which are easily transposed into other keys. There is a companion book which you probably can do without although it is helpful. notably with one or two of the turnarounds. I would certainly recommend getting the cd's West Coast Blues and Guitar Blues - not only because they are good within themselves, but listening to them is a great learning tool. The DVD does not require reading of tab or music and it helps to develop an ear. I am not all that familiar with a wide range of video/dvd teaching aids, but if you wish to move beyond folk style strummings to full blown solo playing, this is excellent. Not only that, but the wealth of licks that are taught will enable you to fit in to a blues jam and aquit yourself fairly well. It offers a very intimate teaching style that allows you to go at your own pace. Once you have practiced enough to get up to speed, you get to playing along with Kenny and even throwing in a few of your own licks. I really liked this. You can jam along to your heart's content. This is an excellent product that delivers. Mr. Sultan obviously is an experienced teacher and takes his time to walk you through each tune. Highly recommended. By the end of it you have a good toolbox of tricks and would qualify as a competent player. What I found from a personal perspective, was that these lessons introduced the concept of playing inside the chords and as such led on to a clearer understanding of swing and jazz styles.
