Terrific for a Beginner--As The Title Says
This Guitar World DVD was just what I needed. I'm new to guitar but this DVD (which also includes a PDF of sheet music and TAB of all pieces on the DVD) taught me the rudiments of 12-bar blues rhythm shuffle (Jimmy Reed style), Walking Bass, Complete 12-bar with fills, Turnaround Variation, Jimmy Rogers-style Chords, Elmore James-style and Johnny Winters-style licks, Muddy Waters-style 12-bar, Eight-bar progression and fills, and more.
Andy Aledort, editor of Guitar World, takes you through each 12-bar progression, four bars at a time--first at a normal pace, then played slowly, then broken down into individual notes, chords, and progressions, and then back to normal pace. Of course, his Gibson Les Paul makes each piece sound fabulous, but Aledort is also a superb musician.
This method of breaking things down was a real help for someone like me who lives in a rural area and is going to be largely self taught; I don't have easy access to formal guitar...
