Mick Taylor: Rock, Blues & Slide Guitar

I was given this DVD as a Christmas gift. It is an honest, candid, and unpretentious look at Mick Taylor's approach to playing music. Listening to Mick Taylor play, is akin to hearing a guitarist as unique as Peter Green, or Jeff Beck. His explanations are simple, and he's always down to earth . As always, his vibrato is gorgeous, and his slide playing is resonant , and singing! Arlen Roth does a nice job of keeping the session basic, and always fun. I highly recommend this DVD. Any level player can gleen something from this.It's just a matter of how open -minded you choose to be...!!!

I liked Mick's work on Exile on Main Street and on the newly released bonus material. This instructional video shows how he did it. He could have used a bit more clarity in showing chords and licks (actually Hot Licks should have done this by providing a booklet that included all of the licks he performed on the DVD. Not all of the licks are documented). But if you have a good ear you can overcome this lack of clarity. A good DVD to add tools to your playing.

I enjoyed this DVD it was very informative and the onscreen tablature was very helpful. Also the jams with Arlen Roth were exeptional, i am a Mick Taylor fan and enjoyed this DVD very much

I had high hopes for this Hot Licks video (1 of 10). Mick was with the Stones during my favorite period of their long career. His playing on Mayall's 70 birthday concert dvd was the highlight. Mick is one of those great players who can't explain what he's doing even when Arlen steps in to try and draw it out of him. Mick really shines in the slide portions being equally adept with standard tuning as he is with open tuning. I found the portions before the slide section lacking in freshness of ideas. I would buy this again because Mick's performances are inspiring and a joy to see and hear closeup.

No much useful for who is looking for slide guitar. It is much better watching his DVD’s and learn it.

My husband tried to use it, but had no luck! So it never was used, and it was a waste of money.

I presented this as a gift to a ex- Roady who has met Mick and Brody plays the guitar so he was chaffed to have such a honoured item. THIS IS A TUTORIAL for all you budding Guitarists. I have bought all DVDS and all his CDS. He came to my attention whilst watching the Hurricane Crossfire 50th Anniversary for The Rolling Stones who also in my opinion ripped Taylor off in music credits, greedy and most likely Richards revenge as he knew as did Jagger Taylor at the tender age of 20 Taylor was already considered a Virtuoso Guitarist and it is true he is rated no.37 in the top 100 Guitarists Rolling Stones Magazine. In that Docu. I thought who is that guy and what is he doing with a rabble like that. He was by far to good a musician to be a Rolling Stone who I consider one of the worst live band in the world. When you see act like Dire Straits live they are so tight they sound better than their records and I was not stoned. OR Little Feat, Bowie & others. I would have gone mad having to live with all of that band in one house and all the dis-function. At the tender age of just 25 Taylor announced he was leaving the band and probably saved his life. Richards looks like a dead man standing. I heard Taylor is coming to Adelaide my Home City of 1 million for the opening of the new Adelaide oval in March he deserves to be part of that band as he will only enhance their sound and Jagger knows it. I have no idea what he is doing now and I guess History has missed the possibility of Taylor being in a famous band for their music quality. Having said that we do not know what the members of Dire straits have done since probably
