Three guitar greats with deep foundations in early blues yet impressively varied repertoire were Lonnie Johnson, Rev. Gary Davis, and Teddy Bunn. If you are wanting to add extra elements to your acoustic blues guitar playing it is well worth your time to study their music.
In this lesson instructor Ben Gateno will be your guide as you learn three jaw- dropping numbers packed with all sorts of cool licks and riffs featuring pass- ing tones, syncopated rhythms, and sophisticated harmonic elements. Ben discusses not just what they played, but how you can go about learning and practicing the material, and how you can incorporate the concepts into your own playing.
To further aid your study Ben performs each tune at speed and slowly, all with focused views of each hand. Included are PDFs of note-for-note transcriptions and original recordings.
Titles include: LONNIE JOHNSON Slow and Easy REV. GARY DAVIS Italian Rag TEDDY BUNN King Porter Stomp
