The First Jam series was created to
give children and beginners of all ages a book of simple, common tunes
to learn. These are standard “Jam” tunes in the Bluegrass/Old Time music
styles. All the books in this series are written in the same keys; they
can all be played together without any problems. So get your friends or
family who play guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, dulcimer or Dobro
together, grab these books and start jamming. Improvisation – Another
idea behind writing the First Jam series was to provide a number of
tunes that were easy to learn, but that are also a great to begin
working on improvising. Each books offer the melody for that particular
instrument as well as back-up chords for another instrument to accompany
you. Each song is represented in Tab, notation and chord symbols. The
accompanying CD has two tracks for each song. The first playing the song
with the melody line, the second track offers just the backup so you can
play the melody over it or even improvise. Tunes include: "Cripple
Creek, Old Joe Clark, Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and many more.

embellishments such as raking, octave bounces, and arpeggios. "Roly Poly" becomes an in-depth lesson on double
and triple parts. Finally, Ray features the blues-into-swing innovations of Junior Barnard, Charlie Christian and
T-Bone Walker in "Fat Boy Ray" and "Milk Cow Blues".

famous 1938 Martin D-28 with the custom Bigsby neck that was passed on to him by
Travis. By the time this powerful lesson is over, you'll have gained an

instrumental standards as "Guitar Rag," "Cannonball Rag," "Walking The Strings,"

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.

Cindy Cashdollar - Dobro Variations - DVD
Explorations in Minor, Swing and Rockabilly
Styles. Cindy
builds your knowledge of the Dobro style-by-step, teaching alternate tunings, bar
and picking techniques and terrific arrangements for blues, minor key and
western swing tunes. A major highlight of this DVD is that each piece is slowed
down, with Cindy and the band providing rhythmic backup so you can practice your
lead playing. Cindy's in-depth study of minor chord shapes and licks will enable
you to play Django Reinhardt's great "Minor Swing" and just about any tune that
requires improvisation in minor keys. In the classic "Panhandle Rag" she shows
how playing in an open G6 tuning gives you an instant country/swing sound. On
this DVD, Cindy turns the Dobro into a funky, hard-driving lead instrument. "
Faded Love", the classic fiddle piece of the Bob Wills era of traditional
country swing, is a "must" for any player who wants a full command of the Dobro's repertoire. This clear and insightful lesson will expand your range
of ideas and teach you important music theory that will make you a more versatile
all-around player.

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 freeform
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.

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.

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 guitar fan. Highly
entertaining.”– Guitar Player Magazine

Danny Gatton - Unfinished Business: Life &
Times of Danny Gatton - Book
Written by Ralph Heibutzki, Danny Gatton was a guitar virtuoso known for his
wide stylistic range. With a musical vocabulary that included country, gospel, rockabilly, soul and
standards, he dubbed his own style "Redneck Jazz". Hailed as the world's best "unknown" guitar player by both
"Rolling Stone" and "Guitar Player" magazines, Gatton was a player's player who never received popular
acclaim but who continues to influence guitarists everywhere! His personal demons and his struggle to reach a
wider audience while staying true to his own music proved to be too much for him and in 1994 he took his own
life. Drawing from first-hand interviews with dozens of friends, family members and fellow musicians,
"Unfinished Business" places Gatton's musical contributions in context and documents his influence on those peers who
admired him most.

DVD
Five Chord Shapes For Mastering The Fingerboard. If you
think of the guitar fingerboard as unknown and remote territory, full
of mystery and confusion - then we
have the road map and compass you need! The
C-A-G-E-D System provides you with a complete under-standing of the entire neck
of the guitar so you can find your way around without ever getting lost again!
Guitarist Ernie Hawkins calls it "The Magic Key" and on this DVD he lays out a
clear and easy method for
finding any chord, note or lick - in any key- anywhere
on the fingerboard! He shows you how five basic
chord shapes, moved up and down,
can reveal all the scales, intervals and voicings you'll need to play any
kind
of music. Ernie patiently and thoroughly provides drills, exercises, practice
tips and the basic theory
necessary to help you understand the principles behind
this important system. His amazing lesson teaches the fundaments of how the
guitar works in a clear, step-by-step way that will open your eyes, give you security and confidence, and forever change your guitar playing life!

system, using his lifelong experience in country
blues fingerpicking as the

12-bar blues
chord progression in every position and in every key, the heart of
the C-A-G-E-D concept. As in his previous
DVD, Ernie patiently and thoroughly
provides drills, exercises, practice tips and the basic theory necessary to
help
you understand the principles behind this important system. You'll see how licks
can be transposed from
one key to another, how to link chords with harmonized
passing tones, how major and minor arpeggios help
you find notes everywhere on
the neck, and how all the notes, intervals and chords work together to form a
complete musical picture. Whether you're playing blues, folk, jazz or rock,
this "Magic Key" to the fingerboard
will give you the security and confidence to
branch out into any musical genre that interests you!

He shows you the chord shapes, notes, and licks in every position and passes
along valuable ideas that will
bring the guitar into clear focus for every style you play. Building on the
12-bar progressions you already
know, Ernie adds passing formations to link one chord to another in a variety of
keys and creates a beautiful
blues guitar solo reminiscent of other classic 12-bar compositions.
A popular ragtime progression (often called "The Circle Of Fifths") is also
explained and taught in detail.

Coast Blues" creating a great fingerpicking arrangement which will bring you to another level in your understanding of chord structures!

Buster Jones - Just Us - Book and CD
Although his scorching fingerpicking was
most impressive, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that Buster is
equally adept at what many musicians consider as a more difficult task: playing
fewer notes... ones that mean more and say more with less, as he does on album
opener "A Simple Gift", title cut "Just Us", and "One Sad Clown". Just Us
is an album consisting largely of his own compositions inspired by his two main
guitars "Merle" and "Pearl". Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming
version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins
to say of Buster "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'"
(each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like
an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but
haven't! Songs include: "A
Second Glance, A Simple Gift, Alabama Jubilee, Be Like Dad, Collage-A-Reed,
Flight Path, Just Us, Last Request, Let the Sun Shine In, One Sad Clown, Pierpaolo, Still Live Five, The Thoughts of One, Thom's Thumb".

Fred Sokolow - Travis Picking For Beginners - DVD
Merle Travis' brilliant fingerpicking
style inspired Chet Atkins and
generations of country, folk, bluegrass and rock guitarists. Travis picking is a
very complete use of the guitar: when you play steady, alternating bass notes
with your thumb and pick
melodies with your fingers you're playing lead, rhythm
and bass all by yourself. But how do you keep that
thumb-bass independent so it
doesn't get derailed when your fingers pick the melody? Fred makes it easy for
beginners or intermediate guitarists by breaking it all down and taking each
song step by step. First you learn
the melody, then add the bass, then add the
syncopation that makes it swing. Split screen versions of the
songs with
close-ups of both hands will help you learn Travis style - it's a great
introduction to fingerpicking!
Songs include: "Nine Pound Hammer, I Am a
Pilgrim, Windy and Warm, Whispering, Mack the Knife".

types
of chord movement and song structures. You'll learn about chord families,
the twelve bar blues, circle-of-fifths
changes, diatonic chord movement and
more. Along the way you'll learn how to play and comprehend the
progressions of
many classic tunes, including "All of Me, Every Day I Have the Blues, Blue
Skies, Your
Cheatin' Heart, Blue Moon, Mister Sandman, Honeysuckle Rose, Like a
Rolling Stone, Ain't Misbehavin, I Got
Rhythm". Fred explains everything in
terms of the guitar fretboard so you'll not only learn to play these songs -you'll learn how to use your guitar to understand music theory.

Orrin Star - Orrin Star's Flatpicking
Primer - DVD
Subtitled "What the Tab Won't Tell
You," this DVD and its accompanying 23-page transcription book are
designed for the guitar player who already has some knowledge of guitar
chords, rhythm, and perhaps even lead styles outside of the flatpicking
realm (fingerstyle, classical, blues, rock, etc.). If you already know
how to play the guitar, but are not familiar with the flatpicking style
and repertoire, then this DVD is for you! In this DVD Orrin Star teaches
you the fundamentals of flatpicking in great detail focusing
specifically on the technique and articulation. Orrin’s masterful
presentation of right-hand technique will help you overcome the common
hurdles that many who are new to flatpicking tend to encounter. He also
emphasizes the special characteristics of the flatpicking technique and
style to include how to develop the "fiddle tune" feel and groove.
Orrin's presentation on left-hand technique will also help you smooth
out your playing by "squeezing the juice" out of every note. Orrin
teaches all technical details in the context of learning songs from the
flatpicking repertoire. The songs included on this DVD and tab book are:
Old Joe Clark (4 arrangements), Whiskey Before Breakfast, I Saw the
Light, House of the Rising Sun, Don't Let Your Deal Go Down, Soldier's
Joy, Red Haired Boy (2 arrangements), and Cherokee Shuffle. Each of
these song arrangements is designed to teach you specific technical
skills related to the art of flatpicking (such as crosspicking,
floating, Carter Style, Blake Style, integrating strums into lead
playing, accenting notes to emulate a vocalists phrasing, etc.). This
DVD is not just a repertoire builder. As Orrin states in the DVD's
introduction, his goal is to "teach you how to fish" not simply "catch
fish for you".

Tuning - DVD
Tuning to an open chord is a satisfying and fun way to play, giving you
rich, resonant sounds with relatively little effort. Just follow the tuning
instructions by Happy Traum, then strum the open strings for a ringing D chord;
G, A and other major chords can be made with simple one-finger barres. It’s all
explained in such a way that even novices can start making cool, bluesy music in
minutes. This lesson will demystify open D, help you solidify your
alternate-bass fingerpicking and teach you six exciting songs. Your first piece
will be the American folk classic John Henry, a mostly one-chord melody
on which you’ll start improvising around the fretboard while maintaining a
steady rhythm on the bass strings. After that you’ll cruise through a repertoire
of funky blues, folk/gospel classics and a Southern mountain ballad that make
use of open bass strings, fretted melody notes, double-stop harmonies, chord
substitutions and improvised licks. Songs include: "
Sittin’ On Top of The World, Jesus Is On The Main
Line; Willie Moore, Deep Ellum Blues, and
I'll Fly Away."

Merle Travis - The Real Merle Travis Guitar - DVD
Here's a guitar lesson that is a must for all
fans of Merle Travis! The only son of the legendary guitarist gives us an
in-depth look at the famous technique that changed the course of guitar history.
When Merle Travis passed away in 1983, we lost one of our most innovative and
distinctive musical voices. Fortunately, his songs and fingerpicking style live
on in the hands of his son Thom Bresh, a talented and dynamic guitarist who
learned the real Travis-style guitar right from the source.
Thom Bresh grew up listening to, and later playing with, his
famous father and his skilled hands bear a haunting resemblance to his father's.
He takes you -- step-by-step -- through Merle's timeless techniques, playing the
famous 1938 Martin D-28 with the custom Bigsby neck that was passed on to him by
Travis. By the time this powerful lesson is over, you'll have gained an
understanding of the real Travis sound and will be playing such guitar
instrumental standards as "Guitar Rag," "Cannonball Rag," "Walking The Strings,"
"I'll See You In My Dreams," "Bugle Call Rag," "Farewell My Blue Belle," "Hangin'
With The Girls I Know." We are proud to present this lesson to the growing
number of Travis enthusiasts and fingerstyle guitarists worldwide. It will make
a valuable addition to the collections of all serious guitarists and historians,
as it offers a rare opportunity to see and learn from the real-life continuance
of a musical legacy!

Doc Watson - Flatpicking With Doc
- DVD
Doc sits down with Steve Kaufman, a
top-notch flatpicker in his own right, and shows how he plays some of his most
beloved songs and guitar instrumentals. He and Steve trade licks and play duets,
and Doc slows his playing down so that you will be able to follow along as you
learn to play these fabulous tunes. Starting with the old gospel song Open
Up Them Pearly Gates, Doc shows how he uses hammer-ons and pull-offs to
easily add notes to his accompaniment. He then launches into a crosspicking
solo, moving effortlessly up the neck in simple movable positions that create a
complex-sounding break. Moving to the classic ballad Little Sadie, Doc
explains how he devises his licks and positions in D minor. On More Pretty
Girls Than One, New River Train and White House Blues he
slows down the flashy runs that punctuate each line of the song. This is one of
Doc's signature guitar techniques that has baffled many students of Doc's guitar
style. He then carefully breaks down of the solo to each song.
Doc and Steve launch into breathtaking versions of classic fiddle tunes Salt
Creek and Ragtime Annie, showing you the lead and back-up, as
well as the "twin" harmony parts. (Try these out with a friend.) These show
stoppers are also slowed down so you can really see what these two incredible
guitarists are playing. Changing gears, Doc teaches his version of the
hauntingly lovely Goodnight Waltz, as well as his improvisations to
the country and jazz tunes, When It's Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia and
Sweet Georgia Brown. Finally, as an extra treat, Doc brings on his
grandson Richard Watson for a performance of three bluesy songs they have been
performing together: Walk On, Boy, Chicago Blues and the
evergreen Summertime.

Joseph Weidlich - Old Time Country Guitar Backup Basics
- Book
This book focuses on examining the standard backup
techniques used by string
band guitarists who recorded in the 1920s and the early 1930s, specifically
those
who used a thumbpick (adapted to today's flatpick style) versus blues
guitarists, who adapted the classic
fingerstyle techniques used to play the
parlor guitar. This book focuses on three basic techniques: 1) the
boom-chick
pattern, 2) bass runs connecting chord changes, and 3) use of the pentatonic
scale. With a solid
foundation in those basic techniques presented in this book,
you will find that by just adding slight variations
to them you will have
sufficient knowledge and technique to hold your own in backing up fiddle tunes
etc., in
the old-time traditional country guitar style. The final part of the
book focuses on some interesting variations
on these basic backup licks, which
were transcribed from commercial string band recordings of the 1920s and
1930s.
