Editorial Review:

The Blues & Beyond reveals Robben's advanced concepts for improvising and comping. Performing his well-known renditions of several blues classics, Robben demonstrates how he plays over chord changes. Robben also discusses phrasing and playing "outside" using pentatonic, diminished, and melodic minor scales. Check out the "Miles Groove," where Robbem plays a great solo combining blues, bebop, and modern "out" lines. And to help you capture Robben's unique style, most of the solos, chords, and playing demonstrations have been transcribed in the music and tab book included.

Not Much Instructional Content

This video is not much more than a Robben Ford jam session. He mentions some of the scales he is going to play but that is where the instruction pretty much ends. Robben is a great player and entertaining to watch, but if you want to learn to play like him, you will be disappointed.

Not for beginners, but good to see...

This DVD has some good technique, but it is definitely NOT for beginners. There is very little "instruction" in the video; some insight to the chords and scales played. The video is more of a "one man sitting in a chair concert" than anything else. Some of the "songs" played are WAY too long. However, if you want to see a guy that can REALLY play and do it effortlessly...Robben Ford is it. This video picks up on his previous video, so I would reccomend taking a look at that before buying this if you are a beginner.
