In these lessons for the intermediate fingerstyle guitarist Dave Van Ronk presents his arrangements of blues and a classic rag. The book includes a conversation with Dave, a discography, 6 tunes in notation and tablature, and 3 CDs teaching each tune phrase by phrase. LESSON ONE: A blues in 12/8 with Leroy Carrs Midnight Hour Blues. Blood Red Moon follows played in a dropped D tuning. The lesson ends with Blind Lemon Jeffersons One Kind Favor. LESSON TWO: Sunday Street is an original Dave Van Ronk song and is an excellent example of Daves arranging skills. Four choruses are taught demonstrating how this tune can develop. Bessie Smiths classic blues Youve Been A Good Old Wagon is taught in the key of E. LESSON THREE: Daves arrangement of St. Louis Tickle was the first great challenge for fingerpickers interested in classic ragtime. This four sectioned rag is played in the keys of C and F. It is an excellent example of contemporary ragtime guitar.
