The blues recorded from the late 1920's through late 1930's is certainly some of the most vibrant sounds in American music history. It seems that anyone and everyone could and would be recorded which created a catalogue of stylistic diversity unmatched to date. The technique of using a slide whether a metal tube glass bottleneck or a knife was used by many of these early bluesmen.This lesson offers a look into the players from that era that used this technique. Many had only one or two patterns by which they played but we have the great fortune of gleaning from them all creating a well rounded grasp of the genre. Tom Feldmann is a master of this style and inthese two DVDs of over four hours he breaks down the complexities of this way of playing.Songs range from beginner to advanced.
