BILLY JOEL
Guitar of the 'pianoman'
GENERAL SERIES INFO:
This DVD contains a series of lessons from a guitarist with 30 years experience playing,
performing and teaching rock guitar. The goal was to create a series of
instructional DVD videos light on ego and unnecessary commercial filler.
The emphasis is on easy to follow lessons full of bang4buck value with each DVD
being the equivalent of many individual private lessons. This series covers each
lesson completely through demonstrations, explanation
and close up views of the fingerings. You progress at your own pace -
playing easier parts first and picking up more difficult parts or leads over
time as you progress.
This DVD series includes lessons that are designed to benefit a wide ranges of ages and abilities. Good basic guitar abilities are a prerequisite of this series and it is geared toward a range within the intermediate category. This series does NOT include any TAB or written material - its designed to teach thru visual and audio instruction and demonstration as well as training the ear toward the ultimate goal of being able to pick out songs by ear. The series focus is on the fingering hand, while picking hand shots are included when necessary.
NOTES ON Billy Joel DVD:
Great Guitar Riffs & Songs!
This is an in-depth look at the guitar of Billy Joel who has written some of the worlds greatest songs. The variety of style and difficulty level between some of these guitar parts is fairly high. A rock guitarist can feel right at home with some of the classic rock oriented parts like You May Be Right. However, a song like Honesty has many chords and a fairly complicated progression full of Major7th and Diminished chords - very comfortable territory for a Jazz guitarist but not necessarily standard Rock fare. Captain Jack sits in the middle, also using a sweet Major 7th Chord but with much simpler progressions that can great platform for soloing over even while modulating between 2 keys.
