5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the negative ratings here., November 5, 2005

This review is from: Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (DVD)

I normally don't write reviews but felt the need to chime in here.

The negative ratings by the two Americans don't have anything to do with the quality of the product reviewed here.

They are just frustrated with the fact that they didn't bother to look before they leapt.

It states clearly that SRV's guitar parts are broken down here by an instructor and it says nowhere that this is a concert or that SRV is doing the teaching.

So forget these dumbhead reviews.

I have the other DVD in the SRV series by Greg Koch and I couldn't believe how well he nails SRV's style and, more importantly, how well he can convey his wisdom to the student of Stevie Ray's style.

THERE SIMPLY IS NO BETTER INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL ON SRV THAN THESE TWO DVD'S!!

If you have any interest in learning blues guitar and SRV in particular than you can't get anything better than this.

'SRV isn't in this video'?? Hellooo???

5.0 out of 5 stars GRRREAT instructional value, October 14, 2005

This review is from: Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (DVD)

This dvd is an INSTRUCTIONAL DVD and should be evaluated and reviewed as such.

The session is hosted by Greg Koch, who has a well earned reputation in the guitarworld as a wonderful instructor and great player.

In his demonstrations and explainations, Koch clearly shows that he possesses the necessary in-depth understanding of the guitar style of Stevie Ray Vaughan, aswell as the ability to communicate this knowledge in an easy to understand, relaxed way.

I've seen a lot of instructional dvd's. This one ranks in the top ten of my personal list of valuable instructionals.

I bought this dvd and the other one by Greg Koch (Guitar Signature Licks: Stevie Ray Vaughan's Greatest Hits) because I'm a guitar teacher myself, but was not well versed in the art of blues guitar playing.

These dvd's hyped up my learning curve incredibly. It's a speed course for anyone who wants quick insight in how SRV did what he did.

Koch presents all materials in a way that makes it very easy to take what you need and incorporate it into your own playing immediately. Highly recommended, 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Accurate and Easy-to-follow Primer for Stevie Ray's Style and Signature Songs, January 31, 2007

By 

John McKinna (Key Largo, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Stevie Ray Vaughan (DVD)

As a gigging guitarist of 40 years experience who keeps a reference library of books, vids, and DVDs that encompasses styles from Django and Joe Pass to Merle Travis to John Scofield and Jimi, I can enthusiastically recommend Greg Koch's clear, accurate, and informative "guide to SRV's style and repertoire". Koch is obviously intelligent and talented, and clearly enjoys communicating his jones for Stevie Ray's music and technique. One caveat (and this does not dock the DVD a star in it's value rating of 5, since it is really quite trivial): Koch's personality is an acquired taste. There's a sort of lame 70s goofball Steve Martin impression going on there once in a while that is a bit offputting. This does not, however, spill over into Koch's instructional content. Thank god. An excellent instructional DVD, Greg. Five stars.
