Instructional DVD's - blues or other

[El Duque]

I have one on 8 bar blues - its ok but not a huge challenge. Looking to grab a few more. Its gonna be my full time retirement job.

Anybody got a recommendation for intermediate blues? I like other stuff and would love those recommendations too but I'm trying to focus a bit on fingerstyle blues.

btw. Stephan Grossman gtr workshop - last day of discount on some of his dvd's

On www.homespun.com

Toby Walker, Mary Flower, Roy Bookbinder and others. There's even DADGAD blues taught by Al Petteway.

I have tons of this stuff in my homespun app. When I go through a bit more Celtic stuff I'll be revisiting the blues.

[El Duque]

I will check that out.

lots to choose from.

I like the instructional DVDs of Mary Flower, Steve James, Scott Ainslie, Rolly Brown and the AGF's own Toby Walker. All are excellent.

That pretty much nails down who I was going to list.

Best,

Check out Truefire.
David Hamburger has lots of good instruction. I love this one...

All good.
I have one from Mary F.

I looked at S.James and Ainslee. S.James teaches here at a local acoustic shop! I'll probably pick up one of his.

I like D. Hamburger's style/approach

splurged on S.Grossman - got 4 coming.
blues in C, slide, can't remember the rest

I'll be busy.

You tube was keeping me pretty busy. I'd stumble on a good tune try to find the tab or a vid (with closeups on the fingering) on the teaching of the tune etc. Plugged it into Transcribe and I'm off.

that's how I ended up at Stephan Grossman's site.

It is endless. A guy/gal can spend more time searching for tabs, watching vids on YT and checking in on the Acoustic Forum than practicing.

Griff Hamlin has a great blog that you can subscribe to, and he also has a lot of good video DVDs for beginner and intermediate blues players

As Barry recommended, too. Here's another thing: one you order something from Homespun full price, your email will light up every few weeks with bargains.

Happy Traum (Homespun) has been doing this since before there was an internet, a dvd, or even a VHS.

And give Truefire a look, specifically the David Hamburger lesson set that Piker recommended. David H teaches turnarounds and licks or phrases in pretty common blues keys. So it's not a lesson in songs, per se--but it'll add some good tools to your kit.

David Hamburger also has an excellent Youtube channel that he calls Fretboard Confidential and it has a number of great free lessons on it, including two introductory series. He also has some excellent courses available on his Fretboard Confidential Website that you can purchase.

Justin Johnson has a growing collection of instructional DVDs too. Much is for electric or "roots" instruments (3 and 4 string guitar) but I would guess that you can still learn quite a bit from them (provided you're not a complete beginner).
