Ragtime & Blues Guitar of Blind
Blake - 2 DVD Set
Blind Blake's recordings, made in the 1920s and
1930s, set a standard for ragtime blues guitar virtuosity that remains
unmatched. His famous "double-thumb" right-hand technique is part of a
syncopated sound that is unlike that of any other guitarist. His recordings,
with their rhythmic drive and ingenious variations, remain a source of endless
delight (as well as frustration) for today's acoustic blues guitarists. In this
double DVD set Ari Eisinger explains and demonstrates two key components of
Blind Blake's style: his right-hand technique and his unique chord progressions.
He then provides detailed demonstrations of eight of Blake's guitar breaks and
accompaniments from some of his best recordings. These include the well-known
songs and instrumentals Rope Stretchin' Blues and the amazing (and amazingly
fast) Southern Rag, as well as the wonderful, but often overlooked, Baby Lou
Blues and Tootie Blues. The lesson provides both an introduction to Blake's
style and a detailed demonstration of some of his most advanced instrumental
breaks. In addition the original old recordings of all the tunes are included.
Songs
include: "Guitar Chimes, Baby Lou Blues, Rope Stretchin’ Blues, Tootie
Blues, Stonewall Street Blues, Too Tight #2 and Southern Rag"

Matt Brandt - Jump Blues - 2 DVD Set
Cult figure, rock & roll legend and music writer, Cub Koda defined jump blues as
“an up-tempo, jazz-tinged style of blues that first came to prominence in the
mid to late '40s. Usually featuring a vocalist in front of a large, horn-driven
orchestra or medium sized combo with multiple horns, the style is earmarked by a
driving rhythm, intensely shouted vocals, and honking tenor saxophone solos –
all of those very elements a precursor to rock & roll. The lyrics are almost
always celebratory in nature, full of braggadocio and swagger.” This 2-DVD set
is presented as a complete methodology covering theory, comping, accompanist riffs, horn
lines arranged for guitar, and several approaches for soloing drilling down on
many approaches for opening up the neck for the scales, arpeggios and riffs that are
employed in "swing" and "jump blues" guitar. It also ices the cake with 12 tasty
solos, followed by in-depth analysis of several jump blues giants such as Brian Setzer, T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian, Gatemouth Brown and Freddie King, all
of whom have their own signature sound. Accompanying vocalists and soloists is a
big part of the style and is as challenging and rewarding as soloing. A sizable
chunk of these DVDs are dedicated to voicings, pulling off various rhythms, and
locking up with the rhythm section.
Hands-on learning tools included with "Jump Blues" are: text
lesson guide, chord charts, practice rhythm tracks, as well as bonus material.

David Bromberg - David Bromberg & His Big Band DVD
For a man who quit an established recording career
in order to study the fine art of making violins, David Bromberg sure knows how
to work a room. A veteran sideman to Dylan, Ringo Starr and Jerry Jeff Walker,
as well as a solo performer and bandleader of more than 40 years standing, the
bearded and bespectacled Bromberg may have kept a low profile through the
so-called MTV era. But he didn’t sleep through the more recent recording
industry implosion and its attendant rise of the Pod People. Rather, he took his
boundary busting energy back to the live stage, with the Count Basie Theatre in
Red Bank, New Jersey playing a big role in this master entertainer’s game plan.
The multi-instrumentalist and musicologist has made the Count Basie Theatre a
crucial pit stop in his annual tour schedule for each of the last four years ...
While Bromberg may take the spotlight for an unaccompanied number or two, it’s
his role as bandleader and raconteur that prompted the New York Times to brand
him “electrifying.” A performance by the 12-piece David Bromberg Big Band
fireballs forward like a bull in a used record shop, tracing its own musical
logic — Bob Wills to Bob Dylan to Bo Diddley to Dave Dudley — with station stops
anywhere from Sam Cooke to “a bluegrass tribute to Ethel Merman.” Not to mention
some fondly remembered originals from his vintage albums and a lot of things
that you thought had been written by the Grateful Dead, Patsy Cline, Cab
Calloway or even the Clash.

pulsating
bass and melodic lead lines. Woody Mann carefully explains Big Bill's techniques
and style in this
video lesson.
Also presented is rare footage of Big Bill from the 1950s. Tunes include:
"Moppers Blues, Pig

Roy Buchanan - American Axe
- Book
Written by Phil Carson. Roy Buchanan left home in 1956
with his guitar and a dream, as rock 'n' roll grabbed America. For the next 30
years he traveled the country,
soaking up influences and melding blues, country, jazz and rock like no other
player before or since. He
preferred to play clubs, yet he reached Carnegie Hall. He is said to have
spurned an offer to play for the
Rolling Stones. He rebuffed Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney. Hailed
as the genius to succeed
Jimi Hendrix, he seemed disinterested. A contradictory soul, his astonishing
technique and emotive powers came with a fear of fame. Take a road trip from
America's gritty roadhouses to the spotlight concert stage with author Phil
Carson as he traces his subject across the decades, from the 1950s to the 1980s.
The cast draws on the biggest names in pop music and legions of unknown
musicians. This is the bittersweet story of an enigmatic journeyman who cannot
be separated from the American popular culture in which we live.

even the most complicated changes to form seamless melodic lines and
compositions. CAGED Cracked unlocks the improvisational firepower of the CAGED

Chicago Blues - DVD
Featuring Muddy Waters, Johnnie Lewis, Buddy Guy, Junior Well and J.V.
Hutto.
This 1972 Chicago Blues documentary was crafted with care by professionals with
a love and understanding of music and a respect for its history and artists. The
music and its artists of Chicago Blues reflect
faithfully the structure of the
city's Blues activity of the late 60s. From Johnny Lewis, who was almost a
discovery of the film team, to Muddy Waters - Chicago Blues' most famous figure.
Lewis' "Hovo Blues" opens the film over images of the Bus Station and
fixes firmly the importance of migration in the development of Chicago's postwar
Blues. The young lions of the West Side were in the ascendant and it's the
nervous, raw energy of Buddy Guy's guitar and searing vocals that catches the
positive mood of that decade.

Brad Davis - Flatpicking The Blues - Book, DVD & CD
In this course, master flatpicker Brad Davis teaches you how to flatpick the
blues. If you are interested in traditional blues, Brad
shows you how to
approach playing the blues using both theoretical and practical methods. You
will learn
how to play blues style rhythm on several variations of the
twelve-bar blues progression. You will then
learn the blues scale at several
positions on the neck and learn how to apply those "blues notes" in a free-form
improvisational style over the twelve-bar blues progression. This section not
only increases your
knowledge of the guitar fingerboard as it relates to the
blues, but also provides you with a method for
increasing your improvisational
skills. After laying this groundwork, Brad then examines common blues
phrasing,
technique and standard blues licks and demonstrates how to apply them. He also
shows you
examples of licks played in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert
Johnson and Eric Clapton. Brad even
demonstrates how Bill Monroe's blues licks
on the mandolin can be incorporated on the guitar. In addition
to teaching you
how to play straight blues, Brad also demonstrates and teaches how you might
take tunes
that you may already know from the standard flatpicking repertoire
and spice them up with blues licks. If
you are tired of playing flatpicked
fiddle tunes and bluegrass songs the same old way, you will greatly
appreciate
Brad's instruction on how you can add excitement and interest to songs that you
already play
by adding a blues flavor.

Rev. Gary Davis - Novelty Instrumentals -
DVD
Taught by Ernie Hawkins. In this
lesson Ernie Hawkins teaches three Rev. Davis arrangements that will
challenge your fingers. Rev. Gary Davis's tour de force in concert was
his "Soldiers March." This is a multi-part instrumental played in the
Key of F and C and is a showcase in demonstrating the genius of Rev.
Davis's playing and arranging skills. Few country blues guitarists
played in the Key of F but Rev. Davis explored this key with religious
as well as old pop standards. "Darktown Strutters Ball" is a fascinating
arrangement that captures the atmosphere of the 1920s. Rev. Davis use to
tell his students that playing with a bottleneck was cheating. Yet his "Whistlin'
Blues" uses this technique combined with an Open D6 tuning to create an
unusual boogie piano sound. Ernie Hawkins teaches each tune phrase by
phrase and carefully shows you the right hand picking as well as the
left hand fingerings that were unique to Rev. Davis's approach. A
detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as a PDF file on
the DVD. Also featured are split screen segments where each section is

right hands with slow, easy to understand instruction and then played up to

Beyond - Vol 1 - DVD
This comprehensive
DVD
lesson in bottleneck/slide guitar details the specific techniques that put Mike Dowling in
high demand during a
long and successful career as a Nashville session guitarist. East coast-style Piedmont
blues is Mike's forte, and

patterns that will keep it
all moving along. Mike teaches turnarounds and syncopations, damping techniques for

and refinements for vibrato that will make even the simplest lines sound musical. Using
primarily open D tuning,
Mike teaches non-bottleneck tunes he's adapted to the slide style, including "Mean
Ol' Frisco, Stranger Here,
Boogie Woogie Dance, Swamp Dog Blues, Jan's Song".

Ramblin' Jack Elliott - The Songs & Guitar
Of Ramblin' Jack Elliott - DVD
This DVD lesson captures a fascinating
musical exchange between two icons of American folk music as they reminisce,
sing songs, and talk about the various influences on Jack's singular guitar
style. Jack and
Arlo Guthrie discuss Jack's formative days and the first songs he learned when
he ran away from home to join a rodeo. Then they proceed through many of the
blues, ballads and cowboy songs that form his rich repertoire. Jack and Arlo
play songs of Jack's many musical heroes, including Arlo's dad Woody Guthrie
(his major influence), Cisco Houston, Lead Belly, Rev. Gary Davis, Brownie
McGhee, Tim Hardin, Libba Cotton, Johnny Cash and others. Our split-screen
cameras are there to capture Jack's guitar technique as he plays through some of
his best-known songs, allowing you to see up-close how he creates the guitar
arrangements that make up his unique style. Jack demonstrates several
traditional guitar standards, fingerpicking Railroad Bill, Freight Train,
Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out and Candy Man, and using
country-style flatpicking on Take Me Back and Try Me One More Time, Cup of
Coffee, The Cuckoo and Hard Travelin'. Jack adds flatpicking blues
licks to San Francisco Bay Blues, Poor Howard, Blind Lemon and
Black Snake Moan, while Woody's Talking Sailor utilizes a rolling
three-finger strum. Jack tunes his guitar to double dropped D tuning (DBGDAD)
for his fingerstyle arrangement of Tim Hardin's If I Were a Carpenter.

Tom Feldmann - Bottleneck Gospel Guitar - DVD
Many southern blues musicians performed and recorded gospel songs;
spirituals or church songs as they were called. Some, like Blind Willie
Johnson and Edward W. Clayborn, strictly adhered to a religious message
earning them the handle “guitar evangelists”, while others, like Fred
McDowell and Charlie Patton, blurred the socially imposed lines and mingled
gospel with the blues. In this anthology of Bottleneck Gospel Guitar Tom
Feldmann highlights the fervent and aggressive slide playing of Fred
McDowell, Robert Wilkins, Muddy Waters, Bukka White, Blind Willie Johnson,
Edward W. Clayborn and Charlie Patton. Each player offers a distinct style
and Tom breaks down their techniques allowing you to imitate the masters as
well as build a repertoire of classic bottleneck gospel blues. A detailed
tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the
original old recordings of all the tunes are included. Songs include: "Jesus
Is On The Mainline, Wished I Was In Heaven, Why Don’t You Live So God Can
Use You, I Am In The Heavenly Way, It’s Nobody’s Fault But Mine, I Got To
Cross That River of Jordan, Gospel Train Is Coming, There’ll Be Glory, Lord

Leo Fender - 60 Years of Fender Guitars - Book
latest addition to Tony Bacon's acclaimed series of guitar books, 60
Years of Fender gives a year-by-year history of the most successful
electric guitar maker. In 1950, Leo Fender introduced to the world the
solid body electric guitar – the instrument known as the Telecaster. He soon
added two more classics: the Precision Bass (1951) and the Stratocaster
(1954). Fender's sleek, adaptable guitars have since fueled modern music –
from country to rock – and have been heard in the hands of virtually every
guitarist of note, from Buddy Holly to Kurt Cobain, from Eric Clapton to
John Mayer. Illustrated with an unrivaled gallery of color photographs of
instruments, players, and memorabilia, this revised and updated edition
expands upon 50 Years of Fender (published in 2000), covering nine
more years of the Fender story. “A must-have for any Fender fan. Highly
entertaining.”– Guitar Player

This terrific compilation of guitar lessons shows guitarists some of the vast possibilities
inherent in the fingerpicking style.
Taught by top pickers, each segment covers
a complete song or instrumental that will expand your repertoire
and enhance
your musical knowledge. Country and blues fingerpicking requires a variety of
techniques to
get the sounds that are so popular and challenging. These lessons
cover the steady bass / syncopated
melody of the Piedmont blues players (Roy
Book Binder and John Jackson), the muffled bass and swingy
chords of
Travis-style pickers (Thom Bresh and Doc Watson), the strumming and pounding of
Delta blues
stylists (Rory Block) and the banjo-like rolls and single-string
approach of more bluegrass-oriented fingerpickers (Eddie Adcock). Happy Traum
has personally recorded an introductory lesson and a song that will
give you the
tools you'll need to really start picking. Songs include: "John Henry" taught by
Happy Traum,
"Louis Collins" - John Jackson, "Fixin' To Die" -Rory Block,
"Ragtime Instrumental Medley" -Roy Book
Binder, "Southbound" -Doc Watson, "Red
Wing" -Eddie Adcock, "Walkin' The Strings" -Thom Bresh.

Stefan Grossman - Fingerpicking Guitar Techniques - 2 DVD
Set
This 2 Volume DVD set
is for the beginner and intermediate
guitarist who wants to start fingerpicking! Rev. Gary Davis use to tell
his students that playing the guitar was easy. He would say that a piano player
has only two hands (the left
keeps an alternating bass while the right plays a melody) but a guitarist has
three hands! Our right hand
thumb is one hand and plays the bass figures while our index finger is our
second hand and plays the
melody. Our third hand is our left hand which fingers chords. The results
produce a full and orchestrated
fingerstyle sound with a rhythmic bass played
against melodic lines. This is the alternating bass technique
which we sometimes
jokingly refer to as "boom-chick". It is the most popular fingerpicking
style played
and has been used by numerous guitarists. Mississippi John Hurt, Rev.
Gary Davis, Merle Travis, Doc
Watson and Chet Atkins are but a few of the giants of
this style. On these 2 DVDs, we will explore how to
master the alternating bass
style. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and then played again slowly on a
split-screen so that you can carefully see what both hands are doing. As a
bonus, you will also see concert
footage of some of
the great fingerstyle players such as Rev. Gary Davis, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance
Lipscomb, Merle Travis, Brownie McGhee, Elizabeth Cotten, John Jackson, Pink
Anderson and Doc
Watson! Songs include: "Oh Papa, Shake That Thing, Death Come
Creeping, Nobody's Dirty Business,
Make Me A Pallet on Your Floor, Coffee Blues,
Crow Jane, Oh Mary Don't You Weep, Delia, Old Country
Rock , Will The Circle Be
Unbroken".

David Hamburger - Blues Alchemy - 2 DVD Set
Transform Your Leaden Licks into Improvisational Gold! As
anyone who squeaked through 10th grade history knows, the alchemists were a
semi-scientific posse of medieval individuals utterly hung up on the notion of
transforming lead into gold. Of course, their efforts did not lead to economic
good times, but Blues Alchemy addresses a much more useful and likely
kind of transformation: turning those leaden, everyday blues licks and chord
progressions into tasty and intriguing improvisational gold. These DVDs are
about learning to play the changes, but not in the sense that jazz musicians do
– it isn't about learning every arpeggio and mode under the sun. Instead, on ten
diverse chord progressions, master blues alchemist David Hamburger will teach
you how to transform your blues bag into gold by learning how to "target tones"
and “play the changes.” This hands-on playing course guides the student through
10 distinct blues rhythm patterns and variations, 10 distinct solos and
variations, plus dozens of extra blues licks and tricks of the trade!
Hands-on learning tools included with "Blues Alchemy" are: text
lesson guide, chord charts, practice rhythm tracks, as well as bonus material.
Secure PIN enclosed in DVD package for quick and secure download of learning

Harris plays
traditional country blues as authentically and powerfully as anyone
playing today. He has
also explored
the African guitar styles upon which so much of our early blues
was based. On this remarkable instructional session, he teaches songs and instrumentals that will deepen
your knowledge of the
guitar and

Starting with his own
Mississippi-style
"High Fever Blues" and Blind Blake's "C.C. Pill Blues", Corey
teaches you authentic
fingerstyle riffs and
solos in C. He then gives you a detailed lesson in open E
slide guitar, covering the
traditional "Jack O'Diamonds" and Corey's original "King Cotton"
- both with
improvised variations. Corey
shows you how
to play "Special Rider Blues" adding African riffs to Skip James'
deep Delta grooves in
this compelling
song. Finally, you'll end this musical journey into blues styles
with two guitar pieces that
Corey learned
in Mali: the warm fingerstyle tune "Bajourou (Big String" and the
flatpicking instrumental
"Sundiata".

Son
House - The Guitar Of Son House - 2 DVD Set
In the years before World War II, Son House created some of
the purest, most powerful Mississippi Delta blues on record. Playing with
partners Charley Patton and Willie Brown, he exerted a profound influence on
Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, both of whom copied his music and carried it to
new generations. House's influence still echoes through the Rolling Stones, Eric
Clapton, and many other musicians, and in many respects, he is the true father
of what's known today as deep blues.”– Jas Obrecht In this course Tom Feldmann
takes you step by step through 15 classic Son House tunes that span every phase
of Son's recorded career. This is undoubtedly the most extensive look into the
music of Son House and the techniques he developed ever presented! DISC ONE
highlights 8 songs in Spanish tuning (Open G). DISC TWO focuses on 7 songs using
the Vestapol tuning (Open D), Standard tuning, and most surprising to students
of House's playing, Cross-Note tuning. Also included on DISC TWO is a bonus
interview with Stefan Grossman where he talks extensively about meeting Son
House and recording with him. Rare performances of Son House following his
re-discovery are used throughout the lesson. Songs include: OPEN G TUNING:
"Death Letter Blues, My Black Mama, Low Down Dirty Dog Blues, The Jinx Blues,
Special Rider Blues, Walkin' Blues (from 1930), Dry Spell Blues, County Farm
Blues". OPEN D TUNING: "Shetland Pony Blues, Preachin' The Blues, This Little
Light of Mine". CROSS-NOTE TUNING: "Clarksdale Moan". STANDARD TUNING: "Depot

Steve James - Blues Roots Guitar - DVD
Fingerpicking and Slide from the Southern
Delta to New Orleans. Steve James is known for his deep knowledge
of blues guitar styles, and here he
teaches learning guitarists five of his favorite
arrangements, high-lighting
chord theory, licks, tunings, slide
technique and other invaluable musical insights. Steve
starts with Mance
Lipscomb's classic "Sugar Babe,
a basic 8-bar blues arrangement with alternating
bass, showing how even this
fairly simple song can take
on a life of it's own. "Wet Laundry Blues" moves to
the key of A, and is more typical
of the Delta style,
with rhythmic feels, walking basses and country blues licks.
"Buddy Bolden's Blues" is a
classic jazz/blues
in C, making use of the "thumb roll" and some funky New
Orleans-style chords. Steve's
powerful version
of Stack Lee's "Blues in Open G" gets you started in
bottleneck style, while "Hot Time on
the Old Town
Tonight", Steve's show-stopper in open D tuning, includes combinations
of slid, pulled-off,
fretted and
open notes, with variations, involving harmonics and rhythmic
"banging" the strings. This lesson
with a
top contemporary blues artist will add many new tricks and some great songs to your
guitar repertoire.

exploring the humble beginnings of blues guitar through the early decades of the
20th century, including profiles of such players as Robert Johnson, Charley
Patton, and Son House. As the story moves into the '40s and '50s, and blues
players migrate to major urban centers, author Adam St. James follows the
evolution of the music at the hands of such electric blues kingpins as Muddy
Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and B. B. King. Then it's the blues-rockers of the '60s,
'70s, and '80s (including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray
Vaughan) before the story comes up to date, with blues flame-keepers such as Keb
Mo' or Duke Robillard, and some not-quite-traditionalists, such as Robben Ford
or Derek Trucks. A comprehensive section for mastering electric and acoustic
blues follows this historic overview. Starting from the very basics, it
leads you into more advanced rhythm and lead techniques before examining
four key styles: acoustic blues, classic electric blues, blues rock, and
jazz blues. The many exercises in the book are supported by specially
recorded audio tracks on the included CD. 256 pages!

musical legacy which includes concert performances like this - a stunning
example of a blues master coming

the music of the moment.
Tastefully intercut with the performance audio are
brief recollections by King of his career as he saw it in
1973, adding insight
into the man and his music. Songs include: "Big Legged Woman, Ain't Nobody's

Legends of Country Blues Guitar - Vol 1 - DVD
The early country blues players
played
with a personal adaptation of their regional style, shaping blues and related
material to their own
needs and those of their audience. The music they played
was alien to formula, possessing such skill and
robustness as to be captivating.
Their fame was local, tied intimately to their time and place, and only the
providence of a chance encounter with a talent scout or record company preserved
their art. Even then, it
seemed fated that they would remain flamboyant names on
exotic record labels. The rare footage presented
in this video is a treasure
beyond imagining, drawn from a myriad of sources, depicting some of the greatest
blues musicians who ever lived. Songs include "Silver City, Angel Child" - Mance

Woody Mann - Guitar Artistry of Woody Mann - DVD
Among guitarists and critics, Woody Mann is considered a modern master.
While the blues are his touchstone, he seems to draw inspiration from every
direction, blending a myriad of influences with ease and grace. He has become one of the
world’s renowned guitar masters with his own contemporary improvisational style.
Every now and then, you hear a guitarist whose sound is completely his own and
whose music flirts with several styles, never resting for very long with just
one. Woody Mann is an artist who seems to have internalized many different
genres and combined them in a way that is more than the sum of its parts. What
is remarkable is how he can draw from several styles and techniques within a
single song and have them blend without the feeling of inconsistency". - Musician
Magazine. Titles include: We’ll Be Alright, Little Brother, Cheap Cherry Wine, Snooks, Harlequin, Have Mercy, Delia, Early Hesitation Blues, Try Me One More

technically gifted as their peers. This DVD brilliantly documents their

McDowell - The Guitar Of Fred McDowell -

Who hasn't been influenced by Mississippi Fred McDowell? Imitated by just
about everyone that has picked up a slide, his impact has spread the world over.
With so many trying to figure out exactly how he played, we are so fortunate to
have a lesson like this one where we get to learn from the man himself. The
footage of Fred McDowell seen in this lesson is a treasure because it's as if it
was filmed with us, the students of McDowell's style, in mind. With clear shots
of his left and right hands, it's like your own private lesson with the master
himself. DISC ONE is devoted to footage of Fred McDowell performing many of
his classic tunes in Open E tuning. After each performance, Tom Feldmann breaks
down Fred's techniques and then goes to the split screen, playing the song
slowly as you play along. DISC TWO is devoted to the recordings of McDowell in Open A tuning.
Tom performs this time around as none of the available footage has McDowell
performing in Open A. Songs include: OPEN E TUNING: "When I Lay My Burden Down,

Brownie McGhee - Born With The Blues: 1966 -1992 -
DVD
Walter Brown McGhee
was an
articulate spokesman for the blues who, in partnership with Sonny Terry,
proselytized the buoyant
Piedmont blues-style to folk audiences a decade before
most had ever heard of the Mississippi Delta. Brownie
showed a wide stylistic
range from turn-of-the century ragtime to the lyrical sophistication of such
original
songs as "Conversation With a River". His flair for the dramatic aside
and autobiographical insight augment
passionate vocals and splendid guitar work
in 14 performances - a moving retrospective of an artist too-long
taken for
granted. Tunes include: "Kansas City Blues, Me and My Dog, I'm Gonna Tell God
How You Treat
Me, Pawn Shop Blues, Born & Living With The Blues, Life Is a
Gamble, Automobile Blues, My Father's
Words, Conversation With A River, I Feel

John Miller - Jackson Blues Guitar - DVD
Mississippi attracted a host of blues musicians
in the period 1910--1940. Many players from small towns made their way to
Jackson, which as the capital of Mississippi and a much larger city, held
forth the promise of more and better work opportunities, and the possibility
of making a living playing music rather than driving a mule or chopping
cotton. The Jackson Blues scene was an unusually rich one, stylistically,
spanning the gap from the sophisticated Pop blues of Bo Carter to the
low-down blues of Rube Lacy and a host of players working between those two
extremes. Included on this DVD are transcriptions and teaching of recorded
performances from Tommy Johnson, one of the fountainheads of the Mississippi
blues, Itta Bena natives Rube Lacy and Ishmon Bracey, with their distinctive
vocal head tones and intense playing, the great Geeshie Wiley, a woman who
played and sang as strongly as any man, Walter Vinson, guitarist and lead
singer for the Mississippi Sheiks, and Bo Carter, a player with a rich
chordal vocabulary and Jazzy sound. The songs presented offer a wide range
of left and right hand approaches and ways of keeping time and will expand
your your ability to play blues, moving far afield from the simple
alternating bass. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on
the DVD, and contains all of the songs’ lyrics as well as transcriptions of
the guitar parts. Also included are the original source recordings from
which the transcriptions taught in the lesson were taken.
Songs include: Tommy Johnson "Lonesome Home Blues", Walter
Vinson "Overtime Blues", Geeshie Wiley "Eagles On A Half", Rube Lacy "Ham Hound
Crave", Ishmon Bracey "Four Day Blues", Bo Carter "Honey".

John Miller - Memphis Blues Guitar - DVD
Memphis has long been a landing place
for musicians from the surrounding rural areas in Tennessee, Arkansas and
Mississippi, and in the 1920s and 1930s, it was a wide open town with plenty
of opportunities for musicians to perform their music and make a living. As
a result of Memphis’ hub status, it developed a strong blues scene in the
1920s and 1930s, with a host of outstanding singers and players. Many of
these musicians had successful careers as recording artists, but a
surprisingly large number of similarly gifted musicians went unrecorded or
only got the opportunity to record a few titles. This DVD lesson offers
instruction in the music of many of the finest guitarists to record out of
Memphis in the 1920s and 1930s.
Included on this DVD are transcriptions and teaching of performances from
the spectacular and hugely influential Memphis Minnie, transplanted
Mississippians Furry Lewis, Robert Wilkins and Frank Stokes and more obscure
names from the past like Tom Dickson and Allen Shaw. The songs that are
taught on the DVD have been selected for their musical merit, but also to
build your skills as a Country Blues guitarist, with numbers in D, G, E and
C in standard tuning, as well as Open G tuning. The technique building that
will come from learning these tunes will give you tools to go in whatever
direction you wish to take your music. A detailed tab/music booklet is
included as a PDF file on the DVD. This includes all the lyrics to the songs
as well as transcriptions of the guitar playing. The original old recordings
of all the tunes is also included.
Songs include: Tom Dickson "Happy Blues", Allen Shaw "I Couldn’t
Help It", Robert Wilkins "Long Train Blues", Frank Stokes "Frank Stokes’ Dream",
Memphis Minnie "Reachin’ Pete", and Furry Lewis "Good Looking Girl Blues".

John Miller - Intro to Chord Theory & Chord Voicing - 2 DVD
Set
In this 2-DVD set master guitarist and
instructor John Miller walks you through the fundamentals of chord theory,
providing you with the conceptual tools needed to understand chord
structure, and then shows you how to apply that knowledge to the neck of
guitar, making practical sense of the information so that you will be
equipped to voice chords up and down the neck in any key. In Volume One of
the set, John goes over the major scale and its structure, and then moves on
to intervals. He moves then into triads and shows how the diatonic triads
are derived from scale structure, following up triads with seventh chords,
the diatonic seventh chords and the various seventh chord types. As you move
through these topics, you will find a variety of exercises on the PDF that
is included on your DVD, exercises that will test and build your knowledge
of these topics. John then shows you how to voice triads and seventh chords
out of the E, A, C, D and F positions. In Volume Two, John starts out by
defining sixth chords and showing how to voice them, then discusses tonic
function and seventh chord function. The remainder of Volume Two is devoted
to working on songs, seeing how to play the same song in a variety of keys
and positions and how to use the way the guitar is tuned to transpose from
one key to another in the easiest possible fashion. If you are really
interested in understanding chords and ready to work on developing your
understanding, Introduction to Chord Theory and Chord Voicing for the
Guitarist will get you well on your way towards that goal. Songs include:
"All The Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Home On The Range, Manha De Carnaval,
Molly Malone".

John Miller - Expanding Chordal Horizons - 2 DVD Set
In Expanding Chordal Horizons, master
guitarist/instructor John Miller returns to the topic of chord theory.
Building on the foundation established in his previous set, Intro to Chord
Theory and Chord Voicing, John starts from the assumption that the student
has a working familiarity with voicing 7th and 6th chords up and down the
neck in a variety of shapes. From there, it is a short step to hybrid 7th
chords, 9th and 6 9 chords, 13th chords and chordal inversions, all of which
are dealt with in disc one of the lesson. In the course of learning how to
voice these different chord types, you'll also learn their sounds, and how
to use them in the context of a song. Along the way, John introduces a Bossa
Nova picking pattern to expand your ability to provide rhythmic
accompaniment. In the PDF study guide that accompanies the lesson, you will
be provided with templates to create your own chordal diagrams for the new
voicings you have been learning, and by diagramming the chords yourself,
you'll engage with the material and absorb and understand it in a way that
never happens when simply taking chords from a chord dictionary or finding
them on the Internet. Disc two builds on the lessons taught in disc one and
further solidifies your command of the material. The songs that John has
chosen as teaching vehicles have been selected for their qualities as
teaching pieces, as well as their musical appeal. If you are interested in
understanding how to get around on the guitar and voice chords up and down
the neck, Expanding Chordal Horizons will get you well on your way. And the
understanding that you build will equip you to problem solve and create your
own voicings in the future as you encounter new songs or to utilize your new
knowledge in your own songs and compositions. It's exciting to venture into
these new areas! 180 minutes • 52 page tab/music booklet. Songs include:
Disc 1: "Watch What Happens, You Took Advantage of Me". Disc 2: "I
Should Care, Blue In Green".

six original tunes - each highlighting a different rhythmic and melodic feel and
utilizing the unique qualities that DADGAD tuning offers. "It's Only The Blues" employs a steady “dead thumb” bass with lots of slinky licks - a very
swampy sound based on a Jimi Hendrix idea. "Octave Jam" imitates a
12-string as played by Leadbelly, using parallel octaves, plucking and snapping
the strings for a grooving bass pattern. "Darling Cory" brings bluegrass
harmonies to the blues as you play the haunting melody in parallel 5ths while
keeping the bass moving. "Sweet Potato Fries" combines the sounds of
Robert Johnson and Big Bill Broonzy, while "Walking Stick" and
"It's
Good To Be Back Home" simulate the alternate-bass Piedmont blues styles of
Doc Watson and Etta Baker. This lesson will open up exciting new possibilities
and musical explorations for guitarists at all levels!

Richards, Eric Johnson, David Grissom, Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winter,
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen and many other kings of the blues-rock
six-string. Guitar Lab’s innovative learning systems employ a hands-on approach
where students “play” their way through the curriculum using learning tools such
as PIP video, practice rhythm tracks, and interactive tab and notation, which
allows the student to play along with the tab and notation, at any tempo,

Happy Traum - Basic Arranging Techniques - Vol 2 - DVD
The learning continues as Happy Traum
takes you, step-by-step, through three more classic American songs, building
each one from its simplest chord-and-strum accompaniment (a perfect jumping-off
point for the beginning player) to a fully realized performance piece complete
with melody notes, bass lines, chord substitutions, harmonies, picking
techniques and improvisations. Drawing on his nearly 50 years of teaching
experience, Happy systematically introduces elements to each song that will help
give you a better command of the fretboard. At the same time you'll be adding
wonderful material to your repertoire, building your right and left hand
technique and improving your musical understanding. Features songs played in
standard tuning and includes Stephen Foster's perennial favorite, Hard Times
Come Again No More; the traditional hymn Wayfaring Stranger; and
the southern Appalachian classic, Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies.

Dave Van Ronk - In Concert At The Bottom Line -
DVD
Dave Van Ronk played the
sort of music he liked, with small regard for the boundaries that normally separate
jazz, blues, country and folk.
He proved in practice that those distinctions
don't mean very much. His performances were stripped down to
the essentials - emotional and musical honesty. In the spring of 2001 Dave asked Stefan Grossman
to organize the filming of his New York City Bottom Line performance. Eight
months later Dave passed away at the age of
65. Tunes include: "Down South
Blues, You've Been A Good Old Wagon, Nobody Knows You When You're
Down & Out, One Meatball, Don't You Leave Me Here, Jelly Jelly, Somebody Else Not Me, Sportin' Life, Come
Back Baby, Sometime, Did You Hear John Hurt, Buckets Of
Rain, St. James' Infirmary, Mamie's Blues". As a bonus, Dave teaches "Green

Dave Van Ronk - Memories: In Concert 1980 - DVD
Dave Van Ronk was one of the
central figures in the folk movement which flourished during the late 1950s and early 1960s and
nurtured such performers as Bob Dylan, Phil Oaks and Peter, Paul and Mary. He
was the founding father of the blues and ragtime guitar revival and played an
important roll in presenting this music to a wider audience. He emerged
from this era as one of the most distinctive folk-blues performers with a tough,
gravelly voice and an intricate and delicate guitar style combined with a
colorful, bawdy and powerful personality. Besides the concert
footage, an interview with Dave 2 years before he passed away contains memories of that
concert as well as stories about the tunes he performed. Dave performs: "Green
Green Rocky Road, Sunday Street, He Was A Friend of Mine, Urge For Going, Stackerlee, God Bless The Child, Candyman, Would You Like To Swing
On a Star, Cocaine Blues, Song To Woody, Losers, Song To a Seagull".

Jim Weider - Electric Country Blues - Vol 2 - DVD
This intensive DVD takes you to the
next level in electric country blues. Jim Weider continues his in-depth analysis of the styles and techniques
that changed the course of rock 'n' roll guitar - blues triads, country rhythms, muting,
string snapping, chicken pickin' and the full range of bending, harmonics and
other techniques that give this style its distinctive sound.
Jim demonstrates the vibrato style of B.B. King, the funky fingerpicking (with characteristic
string snapping and bending) of J.J. Cale, open-string pull-offs and blues
rhythms of Lonnie Mack, the meaty tone of Albert
King's blues bends and the single, double, and triple-string bends made popular by Jesse Ed Davis, Amos
Garrett, Chuck Berry and others! Finally, you'll thoroughly examine Roy
Buchanan's influential pedal steel bends, harmonics and over-the-top country
style playing - up close and in detail. Play along with the band
as they illustrate the licks and techniques on jam session favorites: "New Orleans
Boogie, Haunted House, Bring It On Home To Me".

Bukka White
- The Guitar Of Bukka White - DVD
Bukka White's slashing slide figures and pounding chords are
capable of generating a high level of excitement and capable of leaving dancers
joyously exhausted! Yet there is also a sensitivity and a sense of dynamics to
his music. Bukka's lyrics ran the gamut from the perceptive to the surreal. The
combination of these two voices places Bukka squarely within the blues tradition
and in his own unique niche. In this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you through 10 of
Bukka White's tunes. Starting off in Vestapol tuning you'll get his right hand
"train beat picking" down pat with "Special Streamline". Next you'll learn to
master playing in Cross-Note tuning with "Jitterbug Swing, Aberdeen Mississippi
Blues, World Boogie, and Sic Em Dogs On". Bukka's approach to Cross-Note tuning
set him apart from his contemporaries and will add a new depth to your own
playing. You'll learn Bukka's trick of dampening the 3rd string, behind the
slide as well as his signature “spank the baby” technique, a real crowd pleaser.
Moving into Open G tuning you'll learn "Poor Boy, Fixin' To Die Blues, and
Gibson Hill". The lesson finishes with "When Can I Change My Clothes" and
"Strange Place Blues" in Standard Tuning. These carefully selected songs were
chosen on the basis that Bukka used similar patterns for many of his songs and
by learning these 10 you're really learning his entire recorded works!
