Howlin' Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood 6' 3' wore size 16 shoes had skin so dark it shined like silver and poured out his darkest sorrows in a voice that sounded like a rampaging chainsaw. Half a century after his first hits Wolf's sound still terrifies and inspires. Born Chester Arthur Burnett in 1910 the Wolf survived a grim childhood and hard scrabble youth as asharecropper in Mississippi. He began his career playing and singing in perilous juke joints with the first Delta blues stars in the 1930s and 1940s. He was present at the birth of rock 'n' roll in Memphis and helped define the sound of electric blues in Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s. Heended his career performing and recording with the world's most famous rock stars in the 1970s. His passion for music kept him performing-despite devastating physical problems-until his death in 1976. This DVD shows Howlin' Wolf prowling on stage at the first Washington D.C. Blues Festival in November 1970 supported by his top-notch band. Hear him moan his earth-shaking blues and watch his unforgettable stage antics and you'll see why Sam Phillips who also discovered Elvis Presley Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis - called Howlin' Wolf his greatest discovery.

Il Legato è senza dubbio una delle tecniche basilari e fondamentali della chitarra. Basata essenzialmente su due movimenti: l'Hammer-on (legato ascendente) e il Pull-off (legato discendente), questa tecnica permette di ottenere fraseggi fluidi e veloci dal momento che si riduce al minimo l'uso della mano destra. Si parte dall'impostazione base delle due mani per prendere poi in esame singolarmente sia l'Hammer-on che il Pull-off. I primi esercizi sono cromatici proprio per consentire di prendere confidenza con la tecnica e, nello stesso tempo, preparare le dita alle applicazioni successive su scale e arpeggi, sia in modo verticale che orizzontale lungo la tastiera, alla maniera di Joe Satriani, Steve Vai e Paul Gilbert. Conclude il video una panoramica sugli sviluppi più moderni del legato come il Left Hand Tapping e il Barring, tecniche rese celebri da chitarristi come Richie Kotzen, Greg Howe, Brett Garsed e Allan Holdsworth. / Guitare
