Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After performing bottleneck gospel/blues professionaly for the past 12yrs I've noticed a trend amongst my generation (30somethings) of players which concerns me greatly...wild, fast, sloppy playing sounds more authentic. I have had numerous conversations with fellow players attempting to convince them that fast and sloppy playing isn't more authentic, it's just fast and sloppy playing.
Brozman makes it a point to address just that in DVD 1. He states that the originators were trying thier best to play as clean as possible but due to bad strings, bad guitars and pretty lowsy recording equipment it created a challenge to do so, although many did achieve very clean playing (Tampa Red, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, etc.,).
DVD 1 is critical in learning the fundamentals of control, both with slide and picking. I highly recommend DVD 1 for any players.
DVD 2 covers classic detla blues material Brozman style. Plenty of "tricks" to be learned even if your not looking to sound like a Brozman copy.
DVD 3 expands into more open tunings. Again, plenty of "tricks" to be learned.
Whether these are too advanced for the beginner I cannot say because I'm not a beginner. I can say that minutes into DVD 1 I wished I had these DVD's when I was learning because it's taken me 12yrs to acquire the skills I could've learned in months of working with these lessons.
ALl in all these DVD's will help get the wheels of creativity flowing in your own playing...and playing clean.
