I finally cracked open that Warren Haynes DVD tonight. I've only watched a little bit of it thus far, but it seems to be quite excellent. He takes things slowly, and talks them through as he goes, and the examples are both tabbed out (in the corresponding booklet) and shown in a few places on the screen. I've played along on acousitc tonight, because it was the closest guitar to me, but just in following along for a bit, it's helping with control. Can't wait to crank it up with the electric tomorrow!
Also, stopped at Half Price Books today to trade in the single disc DVD of I Am Trying To Break Your Heart. Didn't need it anymore, since I now have the deluxe edition with the bonus disc. While I was there, I thumbed through their music reference stuff, as I always do, and found Rikky Rooksby's book on creating guitar riffs. I've already got his stuff on songwriting and alternate tunings, so this should make a welcome addition to my music book library. Just in paging through it in the store, it looks pretty cool. So maybe I'll bust that out for a bit tomorrow as well, we shall see.
All in all, a good day with some music, but as is usual for me, not enough music. More tomorrow, hopefully with some hard rock stuff thrown into the mix.
