Tommy Shannon's old tape is now available on DVD.
It's called:
Tommy Shannon: Double Trouble Bass
Anybody have any idea if it's good? Is it just basic stuff, or does it move beyond that?
Reviews?
[I love the way he plays.]

What's your guess - is it a beginner only video, or something an intermediate could get something out of?

I haven't gone through the entire DVD but if you like blues you will love it. He shows different blues licks and techniques about how to play the bass.
I have always been a huge SRV fan and have always loved Double Trouble. Tommy is a great player IMHO.
I think it is money well spent.

It is pretty good. It is at beginner/intermediate level. Tommy's obviously not the most charismatic instructor but he plays some really tasty stuff that really makes sense in the context of a song.
My only beef is that the darned DVD arrived without a booklet. I guess they didn't want to give it it's own envelope.
Sigh.
Well worth having seen though. Maybe I'll buy it later.

As stated, Tommy is nice and informative, but very reserved. Tommy does a great job of going over some nuances of playing the bass, especially on some of the SRV songs (how to replicate the sounds that he put out on the recordings)
I'm just starting to dive into some SRV and Double Trouble songs, and this will be a great help. But if you have no interest in SRV & Double Trouble (hard to imagine), I don't know that this DVD would be a must. |

His tone has most of the treble rolled off, that's all.
It fits really well in the mix.

I have been a sucker for materials all my life, and I have quite a stack of stuff here that's either not right for me or just plain a waste of time.
I have actually come across very few DVD's in my travels that were worth a second look. There are few out there, but the percentage is small.
I wish there were more Intermediate/Advanced materials related to the blues.
Anyway, I'll probably pick this DVD up. Thanks again.
