I've bought several of Tom's instructional videos and he's my favorite teacher. I've found his instruction to be clear, detailed and interesting. I'm going to get the Muddy Waters one now too.

Los Angeles 1960 I was taking guitar lessons at The Ash Grove on Melrose this was the music I loved.
For some reason my path was changed and forgot how much this music is played from the heart.
Retired now and music is my passion and I have the time to devote to playing the guitar. Keep the videos coming.

I admire anyone who pays tribute to Muddy Waters and his music.  Personally, I am too intimidated.  Because back in the early '70s I saw Muddy and his band playing in a bar.  I sat right up front about six feet away from Muddy and listened to him playing his red Telecaster.  He was totally spellbinding.  Muddy's guitar playing and singing was incredibly powerful.  He was a force of nature and a historical legend. So trying to recreate that amazing energy is impossible.   But all the same, I admire your playing and your respect for Muddy and the blues.

I have studied this music and tried to play it, and my ear tells me that your renditions are bang on. I always wondered how Muddy played in standard tuning, and you show how it’s done. This instructional video is a great bargain!

I've just come across this, I have several of Tom's GtrWork Shp DVDs and he is a master of so many different styles, amazing. Just abit of information the arrangement for " I feel like going home" is the one used for Eric Clapton's "Walking Blues" on the unplugged album.

thanks, I remember there was this muddy waters in interview from the 70's in LA (the video is floating around here) where he played live, he said lots of cats can play and even play better than him, but they couldn't sing the way he did.
