If you're expecting a "how to get started on the blues" video, looks elsewhere. You should at least know the basics of blues soloing and rhythm to be able to play the stuff in this DVD. I would recommend this for mid-level players who want to expand their blues vocabulary in a way similar to the raw, pure sound of Buddy Guy.
As Buddy himself says on the video, you learn other people's stuff and eventually put in your own things, making them unique. This DVD is great for sparking ideas. It also has a lot of fingerpicking blues, something I'd like to get into.
The slow-motion section of the examples are very helpful, and Buddy's comments are spot-on and even inspiring. The is a fantastic DVD a must have for all guitarists. It gives you the nuts and bolts to play authentic vintage blues. Buddy lays it in your lap.
If you like blues and Buddy Guy and you play guitar just buy this DVD right now. They did a fabulous job remastering this, you get Buddy up close and personal.
