This is an outstanding video for [the price]. Keith Wyatt is not only an excellent blues guitarist he is an excellent teacher as well. The video details the "sweet" side of playing the blues or even rock for that matter. Rather then learning from a scale to key point of view the video goes into how to play through the cords and hit all the right notes at the right time, something a lot of us guitarists have a problem with. The video also goes into intros, turnarounds and blues phrasing, again another thing many guitarists are guilty of not paying enough attention to. I have recommend this video as well as step one of this series to all my friends who play not only blues guitar but rock, jazz and country. It is just that solid of a video. On a side note I have purchased videos from many other guitarists and unfortunately many of them seem impressed with themselves or are great guitarists but crummy teachers, this series is both informative and humorous. More than worth twice the money.

This reasonably priced video, is professionally produced and well executed -- but I didn't learn anything from it. It seemed to cover too much ground too quickly for me -- and became ... well, tedious. Some of the items covered seemed "fringe" - I would have liked more coverage of core essentials. This video teaching format seems a bit too formula and sterile for my tastes - lots of gloss and not much substance.
