Now you can improve your skills as a lead guitarist by playing with a Blues band and many other styles. This platform lets you interact with the musicians and learn to be a better player. Dust off your guitar, bass, harmonica or instrument of choice because you now have someone to jam with! I Am the Blues Lead Guitarist, hosted by Oscar Jordan, provides an opportunity for all you burgeoning lead players to blow your pentatonic wad all over the place. The surprisingly robust DVD features eight different tracks in a variety of different styles to jam along to (slo blues, shuffle, rockin blues and even a bit of a Latin groove), and each track is available in both a traditional song form and as a looped version if you feel like playing until your fingers bleed. The band itself is tight, with Oscar and company laying down rock-solid grooves to play over. For players using the DVD to improve their ensemble skills, they'll appreciate the use of visual cues to signal changes in the track, and much like band practice, you'll improve with each repetition. It really beats a computerized backing track any day. There s also a raft of extra features on the disc... the concept of the DVD is a novel and useful one. Now you don't need to convince your friends to lug their gear over every week. --Premier Guitar Magazine Sept 07
