Fender Presents: Getting Started on Electric Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
starring: Keith Wyatt

Release Date February 26, 2002
I'm a beginner and for me this DVD is hard to follow now matter how many times I watch it, there are things that I can't understand when he talks about steps and stuff. I'll keep it maybe one day I'll have enough background to understand it.

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Sonny Landreth

Release Date January 25, 2005
It should be said that Sonny Landreth is blindingly fast on guitar. Yet, after trying to like this album for more than a week, I just do not. And the reason is that my ears detect no soul at all in his playing. I am reminded of several other virtuoso guitarists (Walter Trout and Johnny Winter most specifically) who make an awful lot of noise, but very little listenable music. I am also missing entirely the Blues aspect of this recording. It's rock-and-roll. A little more attention to melody and continuity, and less fret-finger acrobatics, would help a lot.

Midnight Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Magic Slim & the Teardrops

Release Date September 09, 2008
Didn't get excited about Magic Slim & the Teardrops the first time I heard them. Big, greasy Willie Johnson guitar work, Jimmy Reed slurred vocals, same fatback backbeat drums, nothing special about the setlist. Didn't get excited about Magic Slim & the Teardrops the second time I heard them, either, and so on and so forth through a lot of years to the present.
The thing is, during all those years, Willie Johnson and Jimmy Reed were passing away, and other road acts billing themselves as Chicago blues acts either lost track of the attitude or burned out. Magic Slim & the Teardrops are still enthusiastically at it, doing those songs that way because that's what they do and that's the way they like to do them, no matter who or what ... Read More:

Blues Deluxe

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Joe Bonamassa

Release Date August 26, 2003
More outstanding blues rock from one of this country's top young blues guitar slingers Joe Bonamassa. On this, his 3rd album, Joe does an album of mostly covers. Bonamassa breathes fresh new life into tracks originally performed by blues masters like Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Elmore James, Albert Collins, Robert Johnson and others. He also throws in a few original tracks as well. This is a very good blues album in many ways. Bonamassa covers all kinds of guitar styles here on electric, acoustic and slide. His interpretations of blues classics pay homage to the original versions, but Joe is able to put his own stamp on all of them. His cover of John Lee Hooker's "Burning Hell" is especially effective. Bonamassa continues to be one ... Read More:

Feel So Good

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Albert Cummings

Release Date September 09, 2008
ok, beyond that 'WOW', I heard Rock Me Baby on the way to work, and had the CD as soon as Amazon shipped it! Love the man's range, style, voice and guitar. In fact, he's so awesome, I'm missing work to see him live this weekend, and if you knew me, you'd know that just doesn't happen!!
Have a feeling I'll soon be saying I saw him live before he owned Blues Rock. Buy this, NOW

The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

Release Date October 01, 2002
Some of the tracks on this splendid, reasonably priced 2 CD-set could peel paint off road signs. Self-taught, unable to read a note of music, Stevie Ray Vaughan displays technical virtuosity that at times seems almost Faustian, it's hard to believe that what you're hearing is even possible. Most of all, SRV is a complete Texas blues package, his singing is excellent, his command of the blues idiom so total one imagines he must have dreamt blues as well as lived them - everything works, right down to the outfits and soul patch.

In a sense, SRV was the brightest hope of a next generation of blues masters. He picked his idols wisely, patterning himself after Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, among others. However, there are also strong rock ... Read More:

This is a true "classic" double dvd,(two disc), with two concerts of Stevie Ray, and Double Trouble performing at the Montreux Jazz Fesival.
