Mike Dowling has been teaching guitar for almost as long as he's been
playing, and during a professional career that has spanned four decades
he's received international acclaim for his tasty and unique
interpretations of old blues, swing, ragtime and original tunes.
A guitarist of amazing versatility, Mike worked and
recorded with such musical legends as jazz great Joe Venuti, mandolinist
Jethro Burns and master fiddler Vassar Clements before embarking on a solo
career. Clements calls him simply, "One of the finest guitar players there
is, anywhere." After ten years in Nashville, Mike moved to northwestern
Wyoming where he's opened Wind River Guitar, a unique live-in guitar
school he operates from his mountain home.
Mike Dowling & Pat Donohue - Two Guitar Jamming - DVD
In a lively, "jam-packed"
display of ideas and musicianship, Mike Dowling (with the expert help of
Pat Donohue) teaches the
necessary strategies that enable two guitarists to make good music regardless of the song
or style - even if you've never played a particular tune before. The two pros demonstrate
a wide variety of essential skills, taking the mystery out of the use of the capo,
using harmonizing chords up the neck, improvising 2nd guitar parts, trading
solos and accompaniment, and much more. You'll learn how to jam on the fingerpicking classic
"Freight Train", Mike's lyrical original "Wild Rose", up-tempo rags
"Salty Dog" and "Gee Whiz", blues tunes "Trouble in Mind", "Blues
City" and a terrific two guitar boogie-woogie. Along the way, you'll get sage advice on
important topics that will help you in all of your guitar explorations!

Mike Dowling - Swing Guitar: Improvising Hot Lead Solos - Vol 2 - DVD
In this lesson, Mike starts with "Mary
Had a Little Lamb" to demonstrate how you can swing anything, even a nursery
rhyme. He explains how to use chord shapes as the basis for finding your way around the
neck, and how to establish the basic melody and then embellish it with arpeggios, riffs,
pedal tones and other improvisational devices. Mike teaches you to improvise around a short
"riff" or melodic passage, laying out chord progressions and then launching into
blues/jazz improvisations. He also teaches riff blues, ragtime syncopations and swing tunes
such as: "C Jam Blues, Honeysuckle Rose, It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That
Swing), Raggin It, Sweet Georgia Brown".

Play great swing guitar without a
backup band! Mike Dowling shows you how to put it all together to make some of the
coolest solo arrangements anywhere using rhythm vamps, passing chords and single-string
melodic picking. As Mike Dowling proves, you don't need backup musicians to play hot
swing tunes on the guitar. With this fascinating lesson you get the whole package --
rhythm comping, movable chord progressions, melodic riffs, intros, outros, improvisations
and other guitar adornments to enable you to play songs and instrumentals from the early
jazz era on solo guitar. Mike is a precise player and instructor who breaks down each
technique in comprehensive detail. His love for vintage jazz music is evident in every
note, as he shows you how to play richly constructed guitar arrangements to four
irresistible songs: A chord melody instrumental for "Sweet Sue", Louis
Jordan's big band novelty tune "Five Guys Named Moe", the infectious jump
tune "I Hope Gabriel Likes My Music", and the ever popular foot-tapping classic "Sweet Georgia Brown"

Mike Dowling - Bottleneck Blues & 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 in this clear and articulate DVD
workshop he helps you discover the vast possibilities inherent in fingerpicking-style
bottleneck playing. Taking examples from traditional blues as well as his own
original compositions, Mike never loses sight of the melody as he explores tricks
that are sure to enhance your slide playing. You'll learn how to incorporate fretted
chord forms with your slide work and the crisp right-hand patterns that will keep it
all moving along. Mike teaches turnarounds and syncopations, damping techniques for
the right and left hand, 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, and Jan's Song".

Mike Dowling - Bottleneck Blues & Beyond - Vol 2 - DVD
On this accessible, easy-to-comprehend
follow-up lesson Mike Dowling teaches precision bottleneck techniques designed to broaden
your repertoire, textures and rhythms! Mike starts by teaching his unique version of "Make Me
A Pallet On Your Floor" which uses a rumba beat in Open G tuning. His funky,
irrepressible "Drop Down Mama" is an absolute classic, a fantastic lesson
in syncopation and groove. From there, try D minor tuning for a haunting vocal
and guitar version of "The Cuckoo". After some tips on Open D tuning,
Dowling launches into a study of his own tune "Street Corner Rag". This
fantastic piece includes finger picking, syncopation and slide enhancements for
a true tour-de-force of bottleneck guitar work. Along the way, Mike tosses in
many tips on how to use the slide, as well as his alternating thumb, for maximum
effect. His "toolbox tips" on turnarounds, strumming, arranging a tune like
"Railroad Bill" and what Mike calls "ornamentation" rounds out
this powerful DVD lesson!
