If you're looking to start playing slide, or need help with your phrasing, Warren's your man. The vids also feature great live in the studio performances by Gov't Mule and Warren's first solo band.

Hi,

"Danny Gatton 2 - Strictly Rhythm Guitar" is really cool - some new ideas for your rhythm playing. Also pretty entertaining in general.

Eric Johnson's is great too. He doesn't really teach very well, but you learn a lot just watching him.

I think Eric intends more to explain basic concepts more than specific licks. For example, in his second, two-tape video (Master Class?)he goes into a lot of detail on the styles of different players like Clapton, Beck, Jimi and Wes Montgomery. It's a real eye-opener.

Eric's two tapes are my personal favorites.

Is the Warren video all slide?

(I know this may be a dumb question...but I have to ask.)

Warren's vid is half slide, half regular playing, but the performances are without slide

i can tell that Er¡c Johnson's first video is very interesting and eye opener as someone stated.

Another one that i like is Greg Martin's Video - his tone is very cool! :dude

Does anybody own Arlen Roth's Chicago Blues videos?

My comment in my post about the half slide/half regular playing is about the first vid. In this vid he plays with his solo band. The second vid features more slide, acoustic work and a great Mule performance.

For just listening to and watching the guy play, EJ's first instructional video is better than any of his records. :wow

And the sound is really good as well, unlike the second one. (which was a 2-vid set)

A friend of mine gave me passes to go to an Erick Johnson guitar clinic and I got snowed in. I would have gotten to go for free. :dead:

I second the Setzer.
I never knew he was so proficient at mixing styles. That and he's funny.
