Rating Review
Customer Rating Rory adds her own style and energy to the Robert Johnson catalogue. This DVD is more 'in the style of' than exact RJ parts but if you are creative you will really enjoy the techniques she shares with us. She dissects RJ's cross-rhythms and key slide parts, concentrating on a couple of his songs in open 'g' and open 'd' rather than his classics in standard tuning. The DVD assumes a good level of guitar competence - I would rate it as intermediate. Rory has been playing some of the 'simple' rhythm licks that she shows us in this DVD for over 30 years - expect it to take a while to get them wired yourself! The RJ Guitar Signature Licks DVD by Scott Ainslie is more accessible for those looking for four or five RJ songs to play in the pub - and I would give it 5 stars (don't be put off by the fact he uses a National Style-O and finger picks in the DVD) - I have both DVDs and have drawn much understanding about the depth of RJs technique from each.
