Fingerpicking is one of the most sought-after, intriguing and challenging of all acoustic guitar techniques. With your thumb providing the steady bass and fingers syncopating the treble notes, this sound never fails to delight players and listeners alike. David Hamburger focuses on two essential fingerstyle approaches: alternating-bass Travis picking and steady-bass blues style. This carefully thought-out and expertly taught method starts at the most basic level, then progresses, lesson-by-lesson, as powerful new techniques - blues scales, walking bass lines, chord substitutions, double stops, moves up the neck and lots more - are added. Each concept is followed up with a classic song or instrumental from the blues, country, folk and ragtime traditions: John Henry, Since I ve Laid My Burden Down, Delia, Nobody s Fault But Mine, Houston Blues, Down in Navasota, Alberta, St. James Infirmary, St. Louis Blues, The Uptown Lowdown, Rag Mama, Hazleton, St. Louis Blues and Battle Hymn of the Republic. These DVDs are based on David s popular book from the publishers of Acoustic Guitar magazine. Minimize

The piano rag is musical form unlike any other. Although melodious, ragtime's excitement and appeal derives from its syncopated rhythms. Ragtime music achieved notoriety through its greatest composer, Scott Joplin (1868-1917). At an early age he studied with an old German musician who introduced him to the piano and music theory. While still in his early teens he earned his way playing piano in the honky-tonks of villages and towns in the Mississippi Valley. He was intrigued with the folk music of his people and the "jig piano" style of the self-taught pianists with whom he worked. Take a musical journey through Scott Joplin's prolific career and perform these time-honored ragtime piano pieces as they are transcribed here for solo guitar. Written in standard notation only with fingerings and historical/ performance notes. Minimize

Are you interested in challenging, difficult and advanced fingerstyle solos that stretch from a New Orleans standard to a Sonny Rollins's jazz classic to a Booker T. & The M.G.s rock hit? If so, then this video lesson is for you. Pat Donohue has prepared a one hour and forty minute lesson that presents six great arrangements. Pat best described his approach: "For me, folk and jazz have always been closely related. They both evolved through the idiosyncrasies of basically unschooled but extremely talented musicians who, playing from the heart, found new ways to express themselves. As a folk guitarist with the heart of a jazz saxophonist, I hope my playing in some way bridges the gap." Titles include: High Society, Downtown Stomp, St.Thomas, The Mooch, Tequila and Green Onions. 100 minutes / Level 3-4 / 56 page tab/music booklet Minimize
