How To Play Blues Guitar - Lesson 2

The second lesson in this series focuses on the playing techniques of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Gary Davis, Tommy Johnson and Lonnie Johnson, as well as many facets of fingerpicking in these keys. Focusing on the keys of D and G, this is a challenging lesson that will illustrate different right and left hand techniques. As in the first lesson, the aim is to give you a freedom to improvise playing a blues in these keys, with each tune taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen. As a bonus feature, audio tracks are included featuring rare recordings of the songs and styles presented on the DVD. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD, which includes lyrics to the songs as well as tab/music transcriptions of the guitar playing.
