Leslie West: The Sound and the Story

This is not for everyone, but if you know great guitar tone, and the amazing sound of Leslie you will enjoy this video.Leslie talks and plays and doesn't do much else but for me this was more than enough. Leslie is a monster Guitar player I've been a fan since I saw him with the Vagrants in 1967 and have seen him countless times with Mountain, West, Bruce and Laing, and as a solo artist. There is some background information, I wish there was more of that, but it is very entertaining and Leslie comes across as very endearing. I've met him a couple of times and he was much nicer on the video. I really am glad I finally broke down and bought this DVD.

Great instructional from a classical guitar player and funny.

Leslie West......man......now here's a guy who only has to play 3 notes,and I know who he is.When I was in a serious a band,we had to do some of his stuff.He's one of those rare guitarists,like Hendrix,Santana.J.Beck ,who has his own sound and ID.This is a great way to get to know the man and his music.West always hit me as a guy who loves to play and loves to rock.First class dvd,if you want to know Mountain and West, his thoughts about guitars,his music,and his life.

Leslie West is a legendary guitarist and has a a powerful soulful voice.This DVD focuses on his style and influences with the Master exploring techniques he has used to write and form fabulous riffs and solos. There are examples from "Mississippi Queen," Sea of Fire," etc. showing his brilliant technique and teaching methods . Other famous guitarists who were influenced by Leslie chime in.

As expected. Great video . Leslie West is a great guitar hero

This is an instructional DVD, not one of Leslie playing. I was disappointed but the person I bought if for was ok with it.

Good

Leslie West! Ein Mann wie ein Berg, natürlich: MOUNTAIN. Ein Mann, ein Sound! Groß, stark und unverwechselbar. Und nicht immer "brachial", auch sehr feinfühlig und direkt, einfach und kein Effekthascher! EIn Mann, seine Gitarre und sein Sound.Nicht immer kann man den Erzählungen von ihm im Video -akustisch- folgen, aber mehrfach hören und Sinn verstehen muss man ja auch mal können. Es ist mein 2. "Video" in dieser Art von ihm und ich habe beide mit großen Augen und Ohren genossen und bin froh, es in meiner Sammlung zu haben.Wer Leslie West einmal live erlebt hat und ihm auch mal direkt gegenüberstand, wird nun, nachdem er nicht mehr ganz so fit ist nach seiner OP ... jeden "Schatz" zu schätzen wissen, der als CD, DVD oder sonstwie von ihm zu ergattern ist.The Road Goes Ever On!
