Movie Reviews of Rockabilly Guitar 1 & 2
Movie Review: This DVD is as Good as You want it to be!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will start by saying that this DVD is invaluable if you want to play Rockabilly Scott Moore style guitar.
The DVD is the REAL resource here. I suggest putting it into your PC and being prepared to stop/pause/rewind/play again because I found that the booklets that came with the DVDs do not show half of the licks that are on the DVD.
Also, I was not a finger picker when I bought this DVD, and now, thanks to the DVD I am. The DVD is as useful as, you the guitar player, wants it to be, therefore if you have never finger picked before the DVD will seem intimidating, however if you take it slow you will reference the DVD may times.
What helped me the most was first learning the riff played by the instructor leaving out some of the harder finger picking parts and then once I had this down, I would reference the video again and add the next layer of complexity (Like adding the bass notes that Scotty Moore is famous for) while playing lead with my non picking fingers.
After a while I realized that I had gone from using only a pick to incorporating my fingers into the act. It totally changed my style of playing.
One WORD OF CAUTION: You will probably take the DVD out of the package, place it in your DVD player and begin watching and quickly get discouraged at how proficient Jim is at playing the guitar, as I did, however, take it slow and break down the riffs into bit size pieces and before you know it, you to will be playing rockabilly. I will also add that a lot of what I learned from the videos are variations of what the instructor plays because I am not as proficient in playing exactly what he plays, HOWEVER this DVD gives you a great foundation of Rockabilly and really expands your ability. IMO It also takes alot of the mystery out of finger picking and the rockabilly style.
Summary of Rockabilly Guitar 1 & 2
On the Rockabilly Guitar DVD, Jim Weider the lead guitarist for The Band, teaches the wild, freewheeling guitar licks, techniques, and rhythm patterns of the rock pioneers, using the original guitars and amps of the '50s and '60s. Lessons include tips on solos, scales, and exercises, plus instructions for using whammy bar, amp tremolo, Echoplex, and more.In the first DVD, Jim teaches the country fingerpicking Scotty Moore used on Elvis Presley's early hits, shows how Duane Eddy got his twangy sound, and highlights how Paul Burlison's single-string lead work influenced Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and others. In the second DVD, Jim analyzes and demonstrates the great trademark licks and rhythm patterns of Chuck Berry and the innovative solos of Eddie Cochran..Similar DVD Movies
