5.0 out of 5 stars The Best guitar lesson you can get! 30 May 2006
For a beginner this DVD is excellent. All the techniques are clearly described and you can browse back and forth throughout the different topics covered. It is all in the key of E so you are able to progress with basic chord knowledge. If you have a love for the blues this DvD is a must! (more advanced players should perhaps start with the second in the series). Have fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEGINNERS REVIEW 11 Aug 2010
I have taken up learning the guitar late in life. I had some knowledge of playing the guitar and I think that this DVD would be aimed at those who have some knowledge of chords. Happy plays the blues in E scale which is quite easy. He explains about the blue being in 12 bars and that it usually follows a particular format. What I learnt was that when you sing along with the tune there are gaps when there is no singing and these are filled in by turnarounds. These make the song more interesting. I have enjoyed the DVD and I think that I will move onto the second DVD of Happy'.

4.0 out of 5 stars great beginner blues DVD 9 Sep 2005
By C. Sabick - Published on Amazon.com
This is a wonderful product for folks like me who are just starting their exploraton of the blues. Happy does a great job with the basics and then piles on a lot of variations and tricks that make even the most basic 12-bar sound fun and interesting. I would certainly recommend it for novices. More advanced players might skip the beginning and move on to Disc 2 but this is a great foundation for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars another fine Homespun product! 17 April 2007
By Peter Hyatt - Published on Amazon.com

Great DVD for those who already know how to play basic guitar chords and want to learn the blues. From the first 15 minutes, Happy will have you playing 12 bar blues and begins to show little "secrets" that sound quite impressive, though not difficult to play. Happy's enthusiasm for acoustic blues is contagious and if you have already learned to play basic guitar chords, you are ready for this DVD. It is like having expensive lessons in your home. Play the DVD for 15 minutes; shut it off, and practice every day. After a few days, turn it on for the next segement, and repeat. Some of the DVDs are quite easy, where as others may require more practice between "lessons". If you do not know the basic guitar chords and wish to learn, Homespun has many other excellent products, including David Hamburger's Acoustic Guitar Method, vol 1 and 2. Homespun DVDs make it possible to have terrific lessons in your own home. Affordable, well directed (you get the split screen of the right hand and the left hand), and enjoyable, I have found no better instruction for the guitar or piano than Homespun.

There are many books and dvd's out there on acoustic blues. These 2 volumes by Happy Traum are the best I've found.
Easy to follow for beginners and intermediate players, and Happy's good-natured ways will win you over.
A feel-good experience every time, whether you just watch them or practice along!!!
10 stars.
