Paul Brady has chosen 10 of his most popular songs and teaches the elements that make his powerful
guitar arrangements unique. He demonstrates his various tunings, chord voicings, chord shapes and
the driving rhythms he achieves with his flatpick-and-fingers approach. In addition, Paul discusses

songs as "Lakes of Pontchartrain, Arthur McBride and the Sergeant, I Am a Youth That's Inclined
to Ramble, and Mary and The Soldier" have achieved legendary status. For the first time, he takes
each one apart to show the alternate tunings, harmonies, moving lines, picking techniques and other
skills necessary to play them with the harmonically rich and compelling sounds that have long
been his trademark. Paul's originals are equally guitar-friendly, rich with rhythmic grooves and
catchy licks to add to your bag of tricks. These songs are fun to sing as well, either solo or with a
band. They include: "Luck of the Draw, Blue World, Crazy Dreams, The World is What You Make It, Nobody

Martin Carthy - British Fingerstyle Guitar - DVD
Martin Carthy has forged his own
personal and unusual approach to fingerstyle guitar. He has developed his own tunings and
right hand techniques to enable him to play British traditional folk music. This body of music is rooted in
a vocal tradition of hundreds of years as well as a strong dance culture. It is not bound by any time or bar
structure. The guitarist must find ways to explore, accent and embellish these melodies. Martin has successfully
done this with the CGCDGA tuning. He plays with a heavy percussive attack reminiscent of a country bluesman
and the gritty rhythm of a diatonic accordion player. He has a unique sense of phrasing and a strong
emotional and atmospheric feel for his music. In this video lesson, Martin explains in detail his playing
techniques and style for seven of his most popular arrangements. Titles include: "Old Tom of Oxford, The
Heroes of St. Valery, The Siege Of Delhi, La Cardeuse, McVeagh, The Harry Lime Theme, Seven Yellow Gypsies".

laid-back feel as well as its intense, lively rhythms. Its influence is apparent across many musical styles,
from reggae rhythms in the songs of popular bands like The Police, to ska beats in the music of groups such

"toasting," and the influence of Bob Marley is evident throughout the world of music and pop culture.

John Jorgenson - Intro To Gypsy Jazz Guitar - Book, DVD & CD
In this 2-hour DVD lesson, Jorgenson provides the foundational
information and practice material necessary for you to gain an understanding of the Gypsy jazz guitar style. The
first half of this volume addresses the important element of Gypsy jazz rhythm. After discussing correct right hand
rhythm technique, Jorgenson teaches the closed chord forms of a basic blues progression and then systematically introduces new
chords into that progression to add "color" and "spice" while also introducing you to the characteristic
"moving chord" style of Gypsy rhythm. After addressing the basic blues progression, Jorgenson then
transitions into the more Gypsy sounding minor blues progression and introduces the "three-note" chords
which are prominent in Gypsy style rhythm guitar. The second half of this first volume addresses
soloing. Here Jorgenson not only lays the groundwork of Gypsy jazz soloing, but in the process also presents you
with a method which serves to greatly enhance your understanding of the fingerboard and
improvisational playing. Jorgenson teaches arpeggios, note maps, lead patterns and Gypsy techniques in every area
of the fingerboard and in various keys. Additionally, he masterfully shows how the arpeggios and patterns
relate to one another. An audio CD with play-along practice tracks is also included!

Ledward Kaapana - Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar - DVD
Playing in open-chord and
other alternate tunings, Ledward's two-finger picking
and alternating bass is reminiscent of the great blues and country guitarists,
but with the licks and harmonies typical of Hawaiian traditional music. His
playing is loose and improvisational, and his repertoire encompasses both quiet,
beautiful melodies and rip-roaring show-stoppers with lightning-fast licks and
fancy picking. The beauty of the slack key style is that it's made up of simple
chords and melodies, but an accomplished player then builds up improvised
variations using interchangable licks and turnarounds similar to those in blues
guitar. Ledward provides all the elements for making arrangements in this style,
showing how he acheives the special sounds (damping, bass runs, hammers,
pull-offs, trills, and other ornaments) that make each tune come alive. Led's
lesson starts in "taro patch" (open G) tuning with a lovely original piece that
he calls "Slack Key Lullaby". As with each tune on this DVD, he breaks it
down in detail, showing the basic melody, then adding harmony lines, bass rhythm
and the embellishments that create the complete arrangement. He goes on to
demonstrate numerous examples of Hawaiian-style turnarounds, as well as complete
instrumentals such as "Kuu Ipo Onaona, E Lili'u E", and, switching to "wahine"
tuning (DGDF#BD), the spectacular "Slack Key Medley."

John Low - African Fingerstyle Guitar - DVD
The golden age of African fingerpicking guitar
was in the 1950's and 1960's. The great players and recording artists of that time included Jean Boxco
Mwenda and Losta Abelo from Zaire and George Mukabi from Kenya. Guitarists from other parts of the world

are some interesting links with American guitar styles but there are just as many differences, including
rhythms borrowed from traditional African music and catchy up-beat patterns. Some beautiful arrangements
are taught in this DVD lesson that could easily find a favorite place in any player's repertoire.

Tony McManus - Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar: An Introduction - DVD
Much of the Celtic idiom is dance
music and is defined by the contrasting rhythms of reels, jigs, slip jigs etc.
"The Lark's March" is a great example of a simple yet attractive Irish jig.
"Tullochgorum" is likewise a well known
Scottish Strathspey (a dance unique to Scotland). Often overlooked is the Celtic
music from outside of Ireland and Scotland and here Tony teaches us one of his
favorite Breton tunes, a "Wedding Gavotte" - the structure of which is very
common in the music of this region. Not to be overlooked, of course, are the
slow airs and O'Carolan tunes! Turlough O'Carolan's (1670- 1738) music forms a
unique facet of the Irish repertoire. All that survives of the harpists work are
single line melodies so the harmonic accompaniment is a blank slate. Here we are
shown a very accessible arrangement of what is thought to be his first composition
- "Si Bheag Si Mhor". Also included is the enigmatic air "Paddy's
Rambles Through The Park" - a tune from the Donegal fiddle tradition associated
with Johnny Doherty, a key figure in that music. By working through this
material the student will have a grasp of the variety and beauty of music that
has been played in an unbroken chain for centuries. Songs include: "Paddy's
Ramble Through The Park, I'm Asleep, Don't Awaken Me, Si Bheag Si Mhor, The
Lark's March, Tullochgorum, Breton Wedding March, and The Butterfly".

anyone, and he takes it apart in detail for the learning player. A band won't swing without
a strong rhythm section, and the powerful guitar accompaniment that typifies the Gypsy style
is the foundation of this terrific lesson. Starting with basic four-to-the-bar comping and damping,
Paul takes you through a variety of accompaniment ideas: arpeggios, "splayed"
chords, "the gallop," chord tremolo, right hand speed and other advanced
techniques. You'll gain an understanding of the particular harmonic structures of
this music through chord voicings, progressions, and accompaniments to classics
such as "Minor Blues, Oriental Shuffle and I'll See You In My Dreams".
