Kenny Sultan Movies
- 1996
Not to be confused with the 1971 film of the same title that chronicled the wilderness ordeal of two white youths and an aborigine in the outback of Australia, this mockumentary chronicles the ordeal suffered by a group of Christian youths and their leaders after they embark upon a wilderness trek in northern California. Soon after realizing that they are indeed lost, it doesn't take long for an anarchic Lord of the Flies mentality to descend upon the formerly pious youths. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
Guitarist Kenny Sultan pulls from his two books Introduction to Acoustic Blues and Acoustic Blues Guitar to offer this instructional blues guitar video aimed at intermediate guitar players. In addition to offering blues lessons in the keys of A, G, and D, Sultan puts the lessons to use by allowing viewers to strum along to such classic blues tunes as "Gambler's Blues", "A Fine Filly", and "Delta Blues". ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Kenny Sultan draws upon his strong academic training and blues guitar experience while teaching students on this tape. His professional videos and books continue to help many students master their chosen art. Sultan's been playing the blues in a style similar to such legends as Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, and Blind Blake for well over 25 years. During this lesson, he shows viewers how they can learn to interpret the blues played by many of the great masters. Instead of encouraging students to try and completely copy the style of others, Sultan explains how they can improvise and change various chords and notes while creating a style of their own. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
