It is what it is.......2007-05-17
I ve only had the opportunity to view this DVD once, but for what it is, it is worth the purchase for a beginning , blues guitarist. I suppose I found myself to not be such a "beginner" blues guitarist, but anyone seeking instructional video for learning ...go ahead and buy it. It will be worth it.

Good, but very basic..........2007-09-16
This was my first exposure to slide guitar instruction other than Youtube. I found it helpful, but only for getting started. Because I've been playing guitar for a while, I had hoped for something that would provide more material to play. With this dvd, you learn the basic mechanics of slide including vibrato, a few scales, and a few licks. A lot of info that most more advanced players won't need or want, including how to read notes and tab. You aren't going to get much more than the basics. If you are just want to get started, this will help. If you are hoping to start playing blues slide or something else, look elsewhere.

Customer Reviews:
He demos blues music, but doesn't instruct how to play.......2007-01-27
Unlike Beginning Rock Guitar, in which Paul Lidel takes the time to go through each riff very slowly, with on-screen tablature, and fully describes the techniques he is using, this video is strictly a demo that lets you watch as Lidel plays the blues for you. It is impossible to follow along as he plays each 12-bar rhythm or solo at full speed, without any on screen tablature, and without note-by-note instruction. Your best bet is to review the two-sided 11" x 14" insert that accompanies the DVD in order to learn the song, and then watch Lidel play it to see how it is supposed to sound. Unfortunately the tablature doesn't match 100% with what he's playing. Before a segment, he might pause to slowly play the scale from which a solo is drawn, but then launches directly into a full speed demo after which he says, "Now you try it." You can see that he's using alternate picking in the solos, but doesn't bother to explain this technique. This is a very disappointing video because it purports to be targeted at beginners, but definitely seems more intermediate, and lacks any real attempt to instruct.
Well done Blues instruction.......2007-01-05
The split screen and progression from fairly simple to more complex was very good. It is a beginning blues guitar. You will struggle a bit to keep up if you are a beginning guitarist and never heard of the pentatonic scale etc. Work through the chapters in Guitar for Dummies and you'll be fine. Would have liked a little more explanation in parts, but since it's a DVD and you can rewind often as you like, it's OK. He does a nice job explaining some blues techniques, then getting right down to some practice w/o excessive theory. Highly recommended. Looking forward to some of his other products.
Everything you need is here.......2007-01-05
I was extremely impressed with Paul Lidel's "Beginning Blues Guitar" DVD. I have a large stack of instructional videos at home, and I'd have to put this one on top of them all. He has a deceptively simple lesson plan that takes the student from the Point A basics to some very sophisticated -- and pleasing to the ear -- licks. I was really amazed. I was impressed with the professionally shot instructional footage, too, with its split-screen technique, allowing me to study his fretwork and strumming all at once.
This one is a keeper, and I hope to see his other videos soon.
A Fabulous Beginning!!!.......2006-01-22
After several years of setting aside my guitar, I decided that the creative side of my life would be my mid-life crisis. I was floundering around with chord books & I came across this DVD. It was UNBELIEVABLE how much it helped me. The chords, 12 bar progressions & everything else Paul went thru was great in helping me restart my guitar playing. I don't know what was up with the two bad reviews on this excellent DVD! They must have been written by disgruntled competitors?
There are better choices.......2005-07-31
Very thin on content, not much here to work with. Thin on presentation. If this was a first project by sixth-graders there would be some explanation. There are good DVDs and there are not-so-good ones. This is far from one of the better ones.
