In this unique lesson, David
teaches two
classic ragtime compositions: "Red Carpet Rag" and Scott
Joplin's 1899 famous "Maple Leaf Rag". These are
difficult arrangements but they
are taught section by section - with split-screen segments so you can
see
exactly what the left and right hands are doing. David explains all fingerings,
slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs,
harmonics and numerous other technical points! As David says often in the lessons:
"Fingerstyle
guitar is a
creative process and there is no single right way to do things. I am
always discovering new ways to play
certain parts and then wondering why it
took me so long to find them. If the fingering of a passage seems
difficult and
you want to change it, go right ahead! Fingerings should work for the music and
for you. Above
all, ragtime should be fun!"

Wes Montgomery - Essential Jazz Lines - Book and CD
Taught by Corey Christianson.
This
book presents some of the soloing techniques that Wes used and also presents many
melodic ideas (lines)
similar to the way he played over the chord progressions in many jazz standards. Because
the major and minor
ii-V-I progressions are the most widely used chord progressions in jazz standards, the
lines in this text will
work over these progressions. The accompanying CD contains many play-along tracks (vamps
of one chord
and
vamps around the circle of fourths) that the guitarist should use to practice the material
in one key and
then
master it in all twelve keys. By learning the techniques used by Wes Montgomery,
guitarists will add to
their
own improvising arsenal.

Joe Pass - Essential Jazz Lines - Book
and CD
Taught by Corey Christianson, contains a study of
lines used by Joe Pass, broken down and grouped according to how Joe used them
harmonically. The play-along CD exemplifies how these relate to a harmonic background. Each harmonic section
contains a play-along
recording in the original key and a play-along, moving in fourths, to help the
student practice the lines in all
twelve keys. Eventually, the student will learn to mix and match these ideas and create
lines of their own. The
more phrases and ideas a student has, the more they are able to improvise or juxtapose
their ideas to create
new melodies on their
own.

Django Reinhardt - Django's Rhythm -
DVD
Taught by Michael Dunn with
guitar solos
by Don Ogilvie. In this DVD, the classic 4-to-the-bar rhythm is
broken down into four separate usable styles.
After that, Django's syncopated
rhythm shots are analyzed and presented by example from a simple back-beat to
2-bar-long syncopated strums. My own philosophy is that the rhythm guitar
section is the most
important component of the Gypsy Jazz group. The rhythm
guitar should be in a position to drive and not
follow the group. The
information contained in this DVD will give you the rhythmic tools to infuse the
sound with the energy that this genre of music deserves. Lessons include: the
pick & picking, basic
rhythm & variations, ballads, concepts of rhythm guitar,
advanced rhythm: hiccup, shuffle rhythm,
double shuffle, tremolo, half whammy,
short whammy, double whammy, triple whammy, tango rhythm.

Paul to Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) make him the perfect guide for this intensive exploration
of chord inversions! Inversion Excursion will exponentially increase your chord, comping and rhythm pattern vocabulary. Instead of simply memorizing chord forms

endless variety of interesting voicings and rhythms to keep both the soloist and

down the neck, across all string groups, in all keys. You'll work through major

inversion forms. Unlike your typical chord book, you'll play your way through
the course within a musical context and learn how to apply the inversions with
rhythmic ideas in virtually any style of music. Over the course of your
Inversion Excursion journey you'll develop a massive vocabulary of chords,
patterns and applications that you can pull out when comping, arranging,
composing and improvising. In short, you'll NEVER find yourself struggling to
come up with something fresh and appropriate, if not downright dazzling.

Frank Vignola - Vamps, Jams & Improvisation - 2 DVD Set
Guitar players love to jam. Call out a key, lay down a one or two chord vamp,
the rhythm section kicks in and everybody starts to get their groove on – simple
enough for seasoned players with monster improv chops and big ears. Not so easy
for most intermediate and early advanced players who tend to run out of ideas
and struggle communicating musically with the other members of the band. This
2-DVD set illustrates dozens of approaches for developing solid melodic and
rhythmic ideas for soloing or comping over one and two-chord vamps. You'll first
learn how to think melodically and then how to best express those ideas, in a
vamp or jam setting, with the other band members. The DVDs cover creative
devices like melodic patterns, call and response, stutter picking, guide tones,
horizontal lines, tone targeting, muffled arpeggios, chromatics, expressions,
passing tones and other techniques for generating ideas on the fly. You'll also
learn how to develop ideas around unusual scales like the Super Locrian, Bartok
minor and harmonic minor scales. Rhythm and comping are also covered with equal
emphasis; clave rhythms, inversions, rhythmic alteration, quartal harmony,
bubble parts, chord punches and how to clearly communicate and then lock up with
the band is demonstrated in detail.
