Lead Guitar with Wolf Marshall: A Complete Guide to Soloing
Customer Review: Should be entitled, “History of Guitar Soloing”
I just finished reviewing this entire video. Here is my assessment: (1) It’s not a “method” or “instructional” DVD for guitar soloing, it more just explains different soloing styles (e.g., Delta Blues, Charlie Christian jazz, etc.) along with their history and the players who popularized the style (e.g., EVH, SRV, Eric Clapton, etc.); (2) the video is entertaining as Wolf Marshall is very articulate and is a fantastic guitar player; (3) in order to learn many of the styles presented here, you need to be at least a mid-level intermediate player (e.g., you’ll need to know your major, minor, pentatonic scales and modes, along with arpeggios for major, minor, major 7th, 7th, minor 7th and chord construction (ie, 1,3,5 for major chords) in every position off the top of your head; (4) there was no tablature included with the video, although Wolf does play the examples at tempo, then a slowed down version (but again, in order to cop these styles you’ll need to be able to play your instrument.
Overall, it was a fun video to watch and great from a historical perspective, but it is NOT an instruction video on how to solo in my opinion. Also it’s definitely not a “COMPLETE GUIDE” either as the title suggests. “BUY NOW”
