DVD-Innovative Arrangements For American Blues/Roots Guitar

DVD-Innovative Arrangements For American Blues/Roots Guitar Review



DVD-Innovative Arrangements For American Blues/Roots Guitar Feature

  • Published by Homespun
  • DVD taught by Geoff Muldaur
  • Artist: Geoff Muldaur
Legendary singer and guitarist Geoff Muldaur has chosen six gospel and blues arrangements that are filled with ideas, techniques and wonderful songs to add to your repertoire. They include two traditional gospel songs: "Just a Little While to Stay Here," based on a New Orleans funeral march in dropped D tuning; the soulful "Trouble Soon Be Over" in open G; and "I Believe I’ll Go Back Home," Geoff’s own version of the biblical story of the Prodigal Son.

Geoff teaches his blues arrangement to "Wild Ox Moan," the amazing rendition of Vera Hall’s Texas Blues that was one of the highlights of his hit CD "The Secret Handshake." His original blues/ballad "Got to Find Blind Lemon" tells the compelling story of Geoff’s search for the blues master’s resting place so he can "see that his grave is kept clean," and includes some vintage Blind Lemon licks in the arrangement. Finally, Delta blues riffs and rich chord shapes in open C tuning (EGCGCE) make a powerful setting for Blind Willie Johnson’s "Tears Come Rolling Down."

Geoff’s vision of the guitar as an arranging tool gives this video lesson a uniquely important place among instructional materials. He uses standard ingredients of fingerstyle playing -- alternating bass, arpeggio rolls, moving lines, harmonized scales and syncopations, combined with rich chord voicings that add a jazz sensibility to traditional music. With his rare musical intelligence, he sheds light on how to "find the little things that make a difference" and how, by making small changes, you can make turnarounds and blues licks sound fresh and new.

The Art of Fingerstyle Guitar on DVD

The Art of Fingerstyle Guitar on DVD Review



Featuring: John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, Stefan Grossman, Bob Brozman, Martin Simpson, Duck Baker, Brad Jones and Peppino D'Agostino. The performers in this 60 minute dvd express different traditions, personalities and stylistic approaches through their guitars. Yet there is a commonality, not only in the instrument and fundamental approach to it but also in the choice of these players to take risks and to respect tradition. Bob Brozman plays Hawaiian Greetings unlike any of the Hawaiian guitarists of the 1920s, yet his version overflows with love of his sources. Peppino D'Agostino uses unorthodox techniques to transform his guitar into a Brazilian rhythm band. Titles include: Stefan Grossman: Sheebeg An Sheemore · Bob Brozman: Hawaiian Greetings · Brad Jones: Funky Fingers · Martin Simpson: Medley: Lord Gregory/Bob's Song · Peppino D'Agostino: Grand Canyon, Ponteio · John Renbourn: Sweet Potato, Medley: Lament for Owen Roe O'Neill/Mist Covered Mountains Of Home/The Orphan · Martin Simpson & Bob Brozman: Bentonia, Chimes Of Timbuktu · Martin Carthy: Seven Yellow Gypsies · Stefan Grossman and Duck Baker: Danish Drone · Bob Brozman: Steel Guitar Stomp
