This review is from: DVD-Dr John Teaches New Orleans Piano-Lesson Two (DVD)

The Doctor is in the house. My thoughts echo those of the guys who wrote about the next lesson/volume: this stuff is brilliant AND complicated. I've been hammering out a basic blues/boogie riff for probably +/-50 years with not a single tune attached. Just exercising the fingers in the same blues keys the Doctor uses in this lesson. OK, hands apart! Work those bass lines til your left hand aches, then try learning just a few signature right-hand riffs. Don't worry about putting left and right together anytime soon unless you're already there. Point is, this is THE stuff from THE Master and it will help you immensely if you don't let the complexity and the fact that he doesn't break it down completely GET YOU DOWN. Buy this and have hours of fun playing with Doc J. He and Leon Russell have kept this genre of great piano music alive. Bless they hearts!
