Chris Smither - Arrangements In Contemporary Blues Style - DVD
In this lesson, Chris teaches the guitar arrangements
to some of his most popular songs. You'll learn thebass-line shuffle groove of "Link of Chain"
the sliding harmony figures of "Happier Blue" and a load of great licks to pull them together
(including Chris' trademark use of his feet for rhythm accompaniment). Moving into open D tuning,
"Hold On" features bluesy vibrato, bends and hammer-ons, while Roly Salley's heart-wrenching
"Killin' the Blues", highlights his unique style of ballad accompaniment. Back to standard tuning,
Chris slows down the Skip James type lick
that's at the heart of "Can't Shake These Blues", and then closes with a Delta-style "The
Devil's Reel". Filled with musical advice, clarity and good humor, this lesson will open up new
possibilities for your blues guitar playing, and add interesting ideas to your song accompaniments.
