This review is from: Joe Bonamassa (DVD)

I have to start by saying what this DVD is not, rather than what it is. It is NOT a true instructional DVD and it is NOT a concert DVD. That said, it IS a good view into Joe's toy box and some of his techniques. Many of them are standards that an intermediate to advanced player already knows how to do (even you they have not mastered them) such as volume swells, and vibrato technique. It is truely just an introduction with very little detail. If you are looking for a "step-by-step" instruction, this DVD is not for you.

I found it both entertaining and informative. He addresses simple things like pickup selection and muting, as well as a tour of his pedal board and his amps and miking techniques.

Again, a LOT of detail is left out, but I think that is the point. Joe gives you enough information (in most instances) to sort out how YOU want to use this information in YOUR tone. It is not intended to show you how to imitate Joe Bonamassa in every way. It DOES give you information that you can use to improve your sound and that is what it is all about, is it not?

Very informative dvd. The things that Joe plays while demoing his equipment and effects is worth the price of the video ten times over!

1.0 out of 5 stars not what you think, April 24, 2011

This review is from: JOE Bonamassa : Signature Sounds, Styles & Techniques (DVD)

With a title of Signature Sounds, Styles & Techniques you might think Joe breaks down some of his licks, signature riffs but no
The title does not reflect what is on the dvd, if you want to watch Joe play a few different guitars and his approach playing them
It's good, as for anything else you don't even get to see his amp/pedal settings when he talks about his gear. So if you expect a instructional style dvd don't buy it you will be as disappointed as I was.
