Chris Duarte - Axploration

Emerging from the hotbed of Lonestar State blues in Austin, Texas, Chris Duarte has established himself as a major guitarist, singer, songwriter and bandleader.
Duarte developed his monster Strat chops by studying the styles of fellow Texans Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson, as well as guitar masters like Jimi Hendrix. In this DVD, Duarte draws on his considerable experience to provide valuable insights into his style and musicianship.

Duarte explains:

- practice routines
- improving your sense of time
- working with scales
- adding “color” to solos
- chord rhythms and solos
- adding tension and release to solos
- using musical equipment to get your own sound
- tips on jamming and gigs

Chris is one of the greatest guitarists but he never really seemed to make it big. Well if you just want to see him play live which you can't see anywhere else, here is your chance. He smokes on several numbers and he's great. Gear review as well. No DVD is going to make you a musician on the level of Chris Duarte, this product does give you some insight on how to begin. If you are a guitar player and a fan of Chris' then this DVD is probably for you. If you are guitar player/musician who stritcly wants to learn theory, then instructional book/dvd may be a better choice.
