Play Like A Legend: Bill Monroe

The guitar in Western Swing holds a particularly important place. Many guitarists have made major contributions in the field but the cornerstone remains Eldon Shamblin whom Rolling Stone magazine once called the World's Best Rhythm Guitaritst. His sophisticated swinging and moving chords forever impacted the music. Coupled with him were early lead players like Muriel Zeke Campbell who performed dazzling single-string solos on records up to two years before Charlie Christian joined the Benny Goodman Sextet. As a genre of muisc Western Swing is a unique blend of jazz blues cowboy western gospel and Spanish sounds. The repertory of any Western Swing bandincludes tunes associated with each of these schools of music but a consistent style flows through every performance. The roots of Western Swing are not easy to trace. Most pinpoint the Light Crust Doughboys (formed circa 1931) of Fort Worth Texas as the first example. Legends of Western Swing Guitar presents the playing of Eldon Shamblin Billy Dozier Bob Kiser Muriel Zeke Campbell Benny Garcia Cameron Hill Jimmy Wyble and Junior Barnard in tare black & white archival films from the 1940s to recent performances recorded in color from the last decade. As well Tommy Morrell guitarist of a younger generation is also included. His playing highlights not just the passing of a flame but new places the torch can be carried.

The Art of Acoustic Blues Guitar - The Basics. Whether your favourite blues guitarist is Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Blind Blake, John Lee Hooker, Big Bill Broonzy, or Mississippi John Hurt, studying the basic techniques presented in this program is the first step toward being able to capture the essence of their traditional styles. In this book, Woody Mann shows you practical ways to develop fundamental technique and offers you insights into the musical logic of blues guitar. Woody walks you through each song, explaining the chord positions and picking techniques. He teaches blues in the keys of D, G, C, E, and A, presenting a wide selection of classic blues songs and instrumentals from the masters of blues guitar. Included in this program are the basics of the Delta blues of Robert Johnson, the ragtime style of Blind Blake (the man with the piano-playing guitar), and the music of Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, Willie Walker, and Willie Moore. Each song illustrates how solo players approach the guitar like a piano, playing melodies and bass lines simultaneously. Developing this independent two-line picking technique enables you to get the feel, syncopation, and subtleties of the music. The songs in themselves are studies in acoustic blues technique and present the authentic elements of the acoustic blues sound and style including blues technique and ways to play off of the chords and improvise within a song. This program is recommended for beginning acoustic blues guitarists as well as electric guitarists and acoustic fingerstyle guitarists of all levels who would like to go beyond pattern picking and develop a more dynamic and syncopated sound. Woody Mann had his first schooling as a teenager in the living room of Rev. Gary Davis, the now legendary gospel and ragtime guitarist. Mann soon went on to perform and record with blues masters Son House and Bukka White as well as contemporary innovators including John Fahey. He has recorded extensively, performed throughout the world, and is widely recognized as one of the world's leading teachers and transcribers of acoustic blues music, having taught countless guitarists through his popular books and videos.
