 Good InstructionalNov 21, 2007
By HARDBLUESGUY
I enjoy Trower's flavoring of electric blues...and am pleased to recommend this product. being a player for about 40 years, I know my way around the guitar and in recent years have had the luxury of not playing in a band, which, requires dedicating off-playing time to keeping current with set music, which, is not always your personal prefernce. So, for a hoot, I have bought a few of these instructionals just to see what they had. Of the few I've seen, I like this one, and most especially recommend it to developing players. It opens with Trower in concert probably late80's/early 90's, which, allows the viewer to grasp what the man is about and to hear the finished product of what he is about to show in the lessons. Trower offers good info on his tone, (probably one of the things I like best about his sound) in the way of set up, amps/setting and effects. From there he explains the basics to the degree that will allow an ambitious player to take it from there, so to speak. Covers some nice licks, that will open a guys mind a bit, as his style is not so standard rock/blues from perhaps higher profile stars. Trower is a very interesting guy and from what I can tell in this product, seemingly a very nice-humble guy, which is most appealing. The slow-motion-looping ability allows a player to go over an over the material covered. Last, as a treat...he shows the format on a couple of his hits. Not for the novice, but, for someone who has the basics down and wants to be a better player...this is a very good product...By the way...Trower is on Tour in the US...January, starts in Florida. I'm going to catch him in Seattle in Feb...catch him while you can, I doubt he will be touring for another 30 years. Best Regards

Robin Trower Hot LicksJul 12, 2007
By Steve Monroe

Robin Trower is a player held in high esteem by guitarists around the world. His totally unique sound and style is fully explored in this excellent video from the early 1990's. His technique is fully revealed at a liesurely pace, with excellent camerawork, and includes surprising comments and demonstrations of his personal guitar setup and amplification. It's a very friendly, intimate lesson that will have an immediate impact on any aspiring blues/rock musician. This set would be a bargain at five times the price!

Not just a tutorialMay 02, 2007
By James M. Lambert
I received this dvd as a gift.
I wouldn't have considered purchasing it myself, as I am not a musician.
I was in awe for the whole dvd! To have one of the greatest living rock guitarists explain his techniques in his own (shy) words is priceless!
A must buy for any devoted Trower fan...

Alot Of Fun From a Strat-MasterApr 29, 2009
By Hal C. Robertson
"CrashTestChris"
This offering was made at a local studio in Atlanta...The live concert scenes were filmed at the Center Stage Theatre in Midtown Atlanta in and around the late 80's where Robin was making his full fledged comeback, touring the US every year without stop....His currant touring band today is the same band he used then with Davey Pattison, Glenn Letsch, and Pete Thompson...
Trower's unique approach mostly involved his use of a dirty blues over-driven signal through a Uni-Vibe, giving him a overwhelmingly "Big" guitar sound: then using odd slow-paced chording, mysterious lyrics, and impassioned leads drawn from his ax that showed thru his facial expressions.....
Robin touches alot about his blues and R & B influences in his playing also....As well as his amp settings, tone controls and gear....All is included....All this coming from a well reserved man who obviously doesn't like talking about himself...
Highly recommended viewing.

Lost in the Hendrix shadow, Trower was and still is one of my favorites ever. It was nice to see him giving the lessons instead of a stand-in showing you Robin's licks. Also, Trower is probably the 'face-pulling king'. You can really see him getting into every note he plays. This won't make you sound like him, or even play but so much like him...but it was cool to see and figure out how he did a few of those riffs. A must-have for any Trower fan, whether you play or not. He seems so likable and humble, almost meek at times....until he plays. Most people forget him because of Clapton, Beck and Page...but every real guitarist knows who he is, and I believe that's how Mr. Trower likes it.
