Brad Davis - Flatpicking The Blues - Book, DVD and 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.

Stefan Grossman - Fingerpicking Guitar Techniques - DVD
This 2 Volume DVD set is for the beginner and intermediate guitarist who wants to start fingerpicking! Rev. Gary Davis use to tell his students that playing the guitar was easy. He would say that a piano player has only two hands (the left keeps an alternating bass while the right plays a melody) but a guitarist has three hands! Our right hand thumb is one hand and plays the bass figures while our index finger is our second hand and plays the melody. Our third hand is our left hand which fingers chords. The results produce a full and orchestrated fingerstyle sound with a rhythmic bass played against melodic lines. This is the alternating bass technique which we sometimes jokingly refer to as "boom-chick". It is the most popular fingerpicking style played and has been used by numerous guitarists. Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis, Merle Travis, Doc Watson and Chet Atkins are but a few of the giants of this style. On these 2 DVDs, we will explore how to master the alternating bass style. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and then played again slowly on a split-screen so that you can carefully see what both hands are doing. As a bonus, you will also see concert footage of some of the great fingerstyle players such as Rev. Gary Davis, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, Merle Travis, Brownie McGhee, Elizabeth Cotten, John Jackson, Pink Anderson and Doc Watson!
