Warren Haynes - Electric Blues & Slide Guitar (DVD, 2005)

Warren Haynes is a superbly talented guitarist. To watch him perform is great. To learn from him is even better. This DVD is an upclose lesson, in which Warren explains electric blues guitar playing in a thorough manner. Though not intended for the beginner, a beginner can learn what it takes to play blues guitar. I waited a while to review this because I wanted to make a good review. The licks and phrases Warren shows can be adapted to your style, he makes this clear. The slide guitar part is really good. It's very difficult to learn to play slide guitar, most give up because they can't get the hang of it. In this DVD, Warren Haynes explains the what not to do's, which actually is THE most important thing when learning to play slide guitar. I wish I had this DVD when I was learning, it would have been very helpful. There are a few songs on this DVD where Warren is playing with a band, and this is a bonus. It is always good to see a great musician playing outside their norm.
