Rock House Method is the best in the business with easy to understand lessons and the greatest feature of pause, rewind and review

I always want to learn how to play the blues. This DVD has helped me get started! Basic chords, rhythm styles, turnarounds. These things are in there. Easy to follow instruction. The booklet helps to keep up and practice while the DVD is paused. The web site - rockhousemethod.com - has great resources to support the DVD and even expand the instruction via the message boards. The ability to replay the lessons over and over until I was comfortable with moving on has been an invaluable experience for me. I took my time going through the disk and couldn't be happier with the results! Great job Rock House!

I have been playing guitar/bass guitar for around one year, and own over twenty instructional DVDs and some twenty-five instructional books (I do have 3 years on the piano). From my perspective, this is one of the best DVDs in my collection. The DVD gives multiple blues rhythms, then plays them to a backing drum and bass accompaniment. Then the instructor performs solos over the combination. The solos are great and inspiring. Techniques used during the solos, such as bends, vibrato, double-stops, and slides, are taught as well. I used to hate the blues until I got into guitar last year, and this DVD has really fueled my appreciation of the genre. Slowly but surely, I am learning to solo "blues-style," and I find great gratification in being able to play the relatively simple rhythms the DVD teaches. You do need to make sure that you have the little booklet that comes with it or you may be lost if you are a beginner.

It is an awesome DVD, as are all Rock House Method DVD's I have used. As someone else mentioned, John is really great at encouraging people to find their own style. It is very thourough and easy for me to learn from since you get to see, hear and read all the stuff, as well as play along with all the stuff. Anyone who plays the blues or a blues based style of music (rock, jazz, etc.) should have this DVD.

I bought this and the book was missing. I emailed rockhouse and provided all the info they requested, and 6 weeks later still no books. It's too hard to follow without them, as it's pretty advanced, and no slow demonstrations to speak of. I would not recommend this to anyone.
