Feelings and Blues
"Mr. Gurman is an excellent teacher and this DVD is worth buying. He's the first guitar DVD teacher I've come across who emphasizes that 'The Blues' by definition is about feelings. You have to, hear, feel and experience the song you want to create before you can play it well. A very simple fact that many guitar players overlook. Mr. Gurman's examples of different artists styles are excellent. He gave a short example of one of Eric Clapton's songs that I was able to begin to play almost immediately. Well worth the price.

Great instruction and covers many styles
"The "Gurmanator" did a great job with this title. If you have been looking for a dvd to help you phrase and add new dynamics to your improvisation skills this is it. I've watched many video/dvd's and rate this one as one of the best in the blues/rock solo category! Matt covers: tone, attack, phrasing, style..... highly recommended. "

It's ok
"Generally a good DVD. Exploring the different styles of various artist was very interesting. However even though it is not mandatory it would be helpful to be familiar with music theory when viewing this DVD. Mr. Gurman discusses theory in detail and I was a little lost. I am a typical guitar player that plays by ear! "
