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. Secure PIN enclosed in DVD package for quick and secure download of
learning tools!

Bo Carter - The Guitar Of Bo Carter - DVD
Taught by John Miller. Bo Carter was a great
guitar player. He played with absolute facility in a variety of tunings and keys and his harmonic
sense was unique in the Country Blues. He was a player of unusual versatility, subtlety and
imagination. As with other players of his generation, the origins of Bo's music are shrouded in
mystery, and it is very unlikely we'll ever find an explanation for the harmonic richness of his
music, so different from other musicians of his region. Bo's right hand approach was different -
picking with all fingers and moving fluidly between alternation, thumping, and runs with his thumb.
Tunes include: "Let Me Roll You Lemon, Pussy Cat Blues, Policy Blues, Dinner Blues, My Baby,
Arrangement For Me Blues".

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.

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.

John Lee Hooker - The Guitar Of John Lee Hooker - DVD
John Lee Hooker's trademark one chord blues
style can be traced back to his Mississippi roots where he first learned to play guitar and
although often described as a simple technique, the rhythm found in his playing is the bedrock
by which all things blues, fingerstyle, rock, etc., are based upon. John Lee Hooker played out of
standard tuning, E position, and Spanish tuning, typically Open A, and nearly all of his recorded works
fall into either category. Breaking this collection into two parts Tom Feldmann walks you through
every aspect of Hooker's playing style in both Standard and Spanish tuning. You'll even be treated to
live video footage of Hooker performing the tunes taught out of Standard tuning on electric, and more
rare, acoustic guitar. Whether you're looking to learn Hooker's songs, licks, or playing style you'll

Clapton, and many other musicians, and in many respects, he is the true father
of what's known today as deep blues. In this course guitarist Tom Feldmann

House and recording with him. Rare performances of Son House following his
re-discovery are used throughout the lesson. Songs include: OPEN G TUNING:

Blind Lemon Jefferson - The Guitar Of Blind Lemon Jefferson - DVD
Taught by Ari Eisinger. Blind Lemon Jefferson inspired a
generation of bluesmen but had few imitators due to the complexity of his guitar playing and the distinctiveness
of his high clear voice. Tom Shaw, a bluesman and friend of Lemon from the 1920s said this about his playing:
"Lemon was strictly a bluesman. And he was the kind of bluesman you didn't have every day on the street.
He was the king. Wherever he pulled his guitar out, he was the king there. Wasn't no use for anybody else to
come up talkin' about playin' against him, 'cause they couldn't even do what he was doin' - all they could do
was look and wonder how in the hell he done it". In this lesson Ari Eisinger explains the secrets to Lemon's
playing technique and style. He teaches five of Blind Lemon's most popular and intriguing arrangements phrase
by phrase and note by note. Tunes include: "Matchbox Blues Black Horse Blues, Yo Yo Blues, Bad Luck
Blues, One Dime Blues".

Blind Willie Johnson - The Guitar Of Blind Willie Johnson - DVD
Blind Willie Johnson recorded 30 songs from 1927-1930 and
of those thirty he used a slide on only 12. There has been much debate about how he played and what he played with,
but regardless of "how" or "what" those twelve songs stand as some of the best slide guitar
ever recorded. In this lesson Tom Feldmann breaks down the complexities of eight of Johnson's classics. You will
see how Johnson created his "as you feel" bass lines by utilizing alternating, monotonic and
"brushing" bass techniques. Of course, the defining element of Johnson's songs was his unearthly
slide playing which Tom shows in detail teaching you Johnson's strike and slides, pull-offs and vibrato. A

all the tunes are included. Songs include: "Bye And Bye I'm Goin' To See The King, You're

Lonnie Johnson - The Guitar Of Lonnie Johnson - 2 DVD Set
Lonnie Johnson pioneered the single-string solo guitar
styles that we are accustomed to hearing today in rock, blues and jazz music. He played with blues and jazz
greats including Texas Alexander, Duke Ellingon, Louie Armstrong and Bessie Smith, and used the guitar as
a solo instrument in jazz bands years before Charlie Christian. His recorded blues and jazz solos, including
his famous duets with the early jazz guitarist Eddie Lang, are exemplary both for their incredibly beautiful
guitar tone and for their sheer, jaw-dropping virtuosity. His "To Do This You Got To Know How" remains one of
the most amazing guitar solos ever recorded. Although he was influential beyond measure, his reputation has
lately taken a back seat to more famous blues players whose influence is often exaggerated as much as Johnson's
is underestimated. In this double DVD set, the first devoted in its entirety to the guitar style of Lonnie Johnson,
Ari Eisinger explores Lonnie Johnson's blues style in detail, presenting stylistic hallmarks of Johnson's playing
including a discussion of left hand fingerings, use of diminished chords and Lonnie's blues playing in the Key of
D. Ari teaches eight guitar breaks from some of Lonnie's best tunes. These include his instrumental masterpiece "To
Do This You Got To Know How", his jazzy "Uncle Ned Don't Use Your Head", his evocative "Woke Up With the Blues In
My Fingers" and "I'm So Tired Of Living All Alone", Lonnie's version of the song Skip James recorded as "I'm So
Glad". The original old recordings of all the tunes are included as well.

Catfish starts his lesson with Jessie

Catfish says "it's a bone-simple song," but by using his trademark techniques he
transforms it into a powerful statement. Why Don't You Take Mr. Catfish's
Advice? is another one-chord song, this time in the Key of A. Insistent
rhythms influenced by Mance Lipscomb and John Lee Hooker combine a damped,
steady one-note bass with a bass riff that's echoed in harmonics that add to
your pallet of sounds. Police and a Sergeant uses the alternating thumb
style with syncopation and improvisations in the key of C. Lil Green's
Knockin' Myself Out Gradually by Degrees features a double-time section, a
Lonnie Johnson-style solo in harmonics with bass string snaps and a "sweep
harmonic" chord wipe. Moving to the Caribbean style inspired by the great Joseph
Spence, Catfish teaches his dropped-D arrangement of the calypso Brown Skin
Girl. Here he uses musically simple ideas, but with the use of heavy
syncopation, rhythmic variations and improvisation he takes the song into brand
new territory. Changing to his steel-body National and using bottleneck and
fingerpicks, Catfish teaches Bye and Bye, I'm Going to See the King by
Blind Willie Johnson. He uses open C tuning (CGCEGC) and talks about tone,
vibrato, slide technique and alternating bass picking. The DVD lesson ends with
an amazing performance of Bukka White's powerful slide piece Jitterbug Swing,
including fancy slapping/strumming moves as well as great show-stopping fingerpicking
slide!

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".

to Piedmont bounce and transform your guitar arrangements with new ideas and thrilling sounds! Al Petteway,
one of our most musically inventive guitarists, teaches you six original tunes - each highlighting a different

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 alternating 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!

Frank Stokes - The Guitar Of Frank Stokes - DVD
Frank Stokes grew up playing the Blues
before WWI, when it was just an obscure local folk music from the north of the Mississippi
Delta. His tremendous voice and skillful guitar work helped to popularize the Blues as he
toured all over the South in Doc Watts Medicine Show, provided entertainment at
parties and fish-fries where he was invited to play, and 'busking' in the
streets for spare change. Frank played in Jack Kelly's Jug Busters, as the Jug
Band craze took hold in the 1920s. Together with Dan Sane they became known as
'The Beale Street Sheiks', sometimes adding Will Betts on fiddle, and often
being invited to play for white audiences. He recorded 38 sides for Paramount
and Victor, including his blend of blues, ragtime, minstrel tunes, and popular
songs which made his repertoire one of the most interesting of its time. With the
arrival of the Great Depression and the decrease in recording opportunities,
Stokes and Sane went back to playing street corners, occasional circuses, and
traveling shows. He passed away September 12, 1955. In this DVD, Tom Feldmann
teaches the ins and outs of 10 classic Frank Stokes arrangements in C, D, A, G,
and E. This a great lesson for players of all levels looking to build a
repertoire of blues and good-time tunes. In addition the original recordings of
all the tunes are included. Songs include: "Take Me Back, Tain't Nobody's Business
If I Do, I Got Mine, How Long, Mr. Crump Don't Like It, Stomp That Thing, Memphis
Rounders Blues, Bedtime Blues, Sweet To Mama, Mistreatin' Blues".
