"Improving the ear..."?

[bod]

Hi all

Any experience of / views on John Miller's dvd Improving Your Ear For The Country Blues Guitarist?

(My context: I'm making some progress with 'learning by ear' but mainly only from stumbled upon fragments to start from, I struggle much more if I start by listening and trying to find my way in, so am thinking this DVD might just help me get on...) 

Cheers

Hi Bod,

I have not seen this DVD, but I do know John and he is an excellent decoder of old music and teacher. I am sure that what he teaches in this DVD would be very useful knowledge to have.

I bought this earler this year and it is a thourough 2 disc trip through all the common blues keys and how you can identify the key of the song and tuning by recognising the licks being played. A lot of it is common sense ( some of it is only common sense when you see it explained ). . . but if like me you want to work songs by ear this will give you a leg up the technique ladder .

I think it is useful - like all these thing YMMV.

Thanks for the opinions. It sounds like there is a high chance of it being useful. I've watched a sample clip a couple of times now as well (below), and I think a few hours of stuff like that on DVD will offer me a lot to learn, so have a copy on its way...

If you go onto You Tube there are a lot more clips from the DVD's, almost makes you wonder how much will be new unpublished if you get the discs?
