L'utilisation des open tunings à la guitare pour accompagner le chant est l'un des sons de la marque Country Blues. Incontestablement, les deux open tunings qui ont été utilisés le plus couramment dans le pays Blues ont été tuning espagnol, souvent appelé Open G tuning et tuning Vestapol, assez souvent appelés open tuning D. Pour cette leçon 2-DVD, nous avons choisi le nom espagnol et Vestapol pour désigner ces tunings, parce que dans la pratique, tuning espagnol n'a pas toujours été à l'écoute exactement à une corde de G ouvert et tuning Vestapol n'a pas toujours été accordé à une corde ouverte D.Chacun de ces accordages représente sa propre sorte de son univers, mais ce qui est vraiment intéressant d'entendre sont les différentes approches que les différents acteurs ont les mêmes tunings et les différents sons qui en ont découlé. Dans chacun de ces tunings, vous allez rencontrer des joueurs dont l'approche était tellement mélodie tirée qu'il finit par sonner un peu comme la guitare slide jouée sans une diapositive, et à l'extrémité opposée du spectre, grande idée, suivant une corde arrangements sophistiqués. Nous avons délibérément choisi des chansons qui sont enseignés sur la leçon pour englober autant que le spectre sonore possible.Sur le disque 1, la leçon de tuning espagnol, nous commençons par présenter un aperçu de la mise au point, la façon dont il est mis en place, et où les positions d'accords fondamentaux nécessaires pour jouer Country Blues dans cet accord sont situés. Puis nous lançons dans le répertoire: interprétation sereine d'Elizabeth Cotten de l'hymne When I Get Home, garçons dansants de Mississippi John Hurt, vous êtes les bienvenus, hypnotique Construit droit de Teddy Darby sur le terrain, uptown Dice malchance de Clifford Gibson, de Mance Lipscomb ancien- Légende obsédante de sondage Willie Poor Boy et Kenny Baker de la Brakeman siffleur.Sur le disque 2, la leçon de tuning Vestapol, nous commençons par un aperçu de la qui donne le son de la mise au point, l'approche qui convient le mieux pour elle, et les positions en accords nécessaires pour jouer Country Blues en elle. Ensuite, nous allons à la chanson: instrumental Pas le temps de Tarheel Slim At All, Jimmy Lee Williams? Locomotive barattage Avez-vous Peaches jamais vu, Old Timbrook Blues de John Byrd, Memphis Willie B. 's étrange Brownsville Blues, Blind Boy Fuller conduite Little Woman Vous êtes si doux, et l'esprit-bender de Jesse Thomas autre ami comme moi.L'enseignement est offert avec le genre d'attention patiente au détail pour lequel les leçons de John Miller ont été acclamés, et tous les spectacles originaux des chansons sont inclus sur les disques, ainsi que des onglets et solfège et les paroles des chansons.

In Spanish and Vestapol Tunings-The use of open tunings on the guitar to accompany singing is one of the hallmark sounds of the Country Blues. Unquestionably the two open tunings that have been used most commonly in the Country Blues have been Spanish tuning often called Open G tuning and Vestapol tuning quite often called Open D tuning. For this 2-DVD lesson we've chosen the names Spanish and Vestapol to designate these tunings because in practice Spanish tuning was not always tuned exactly to an open G chord and Vestapol tuning was not always tuned to an open D chord.Each one of these tunings represents its own sort of sound universe but what is really interesting to hear is the different approaches that different players took to the same tunings and the different sounds that resulted. In each of these tunings you'll encounter players whose approach was so melody-driven that it ends up sounding almost like slide guitar played without a slide and at the opposite end of the spectrum high concept chordally sophisticated arrangements. We've purposely chosen the songs that are taught on the lesson to encompass as much of that sound spectrum as possible.On Disc 1 the Spanish tuning lesson we start by presenting an overview to the tuning how it is set up and where the foundational chord positions needed to play Country Blues in that tuning are located. Then we launch into the repertoire: Elizabeth Cotten's serene rendition of the hymn When I Get Home Mississippi John Hurt's danceable Boys You're Welcome Teddy Darby's hypnotic Built Right On The Ground Clifford Gibson's uptown Bad Luck Dice Mance Lipscomb's ancient-sounding Willie Poor Boy and Kenny Baker's haunting Legend of the Whistling Brakeman.On Disc 2 the Vestapol tuning lesson we begin with the an overview that provides the sound of the tuning the approach that is best suited to it and the
