This will be a similar review I wrote for Vol. 2 of Classic Blues. It is more of a heads up to those who used to own the VHS tapes.

I used to have the VHS tape for vol. 1 and I must say it was a very well done product. I particular enjoy the performances of the ENTIRE song at the end of the lesson. Dan Warner would play the whole blues song with the solos and with no band backing him up. Just a vocalist playing rhythm.

It was awesome. I learned so much watching him do his solos.

BUT the DVD versions of these tapes no longer show entire performances. They edit the original production so as the entire performance is never displayed.

I was very disappointed with the editing done for the DVDs.

But you are just a beginner, I guess this product will do.

I disagree with some poor reviews for this product. I can not comment on the VHS version. However I own the Classic Blues Vol 1 DVD and didactically Vol 3 DVD is as good as Vol 1 DVD.

Similarly to Vol 1 DVD the instructor shows the basic chord patterns and riffs of the song but performs it with several embellishments not mentioned in the video. These advanced techniques require a more detailed explanation to make it clear for the beginner guitarist. But you need to learn how to walk before you can run.

The key for good playing is practice. So to be able to do that consistently you need to select the song(s) you really like. The Classic Blues Vol 3 DVD does it for me...
