Note that Rory Block audios on Homespun are not the Same as the Videos - the classics of Blues AUDIO corresponds SOMEWHAT to the "Power of Delta Blues' --the video teaches more STYLES of blues than exact blues songs..they both compliment each other. the tape series will as sasid above--teach you the songs note for note while the video will show you how to play "in the style of"...Note also that the 6 tape audio set has been reissued in a book with a CD...all the songs are there but the instruction has been edited down to what ever would fit on a CD...if you don't need to have your hand held and can learn from tab you can learn as much from the much cheaper book/CD version than the 6 tape set...By the way Rory plays MEDIUM guage strings and doesn't use picks --so start developing your hand musscles!.....
