DVD ONE: Bob Brozman uses a variety of instruments - a Dobro-type resophonic, a Weissenborn and a National steel - to teach the funky blues tunes, cool riffs and adventurous improvisations that he pulls from his seemingly bottomless bag of tricks. His course in lap style slide guitar will open up exciting musical ideas and powerful techniques for anyone who wants to get into the real blues sound.
This winner of the 1996 Real Blues Best Instructional Video features Gary Smith, the Godfather of S.F. Bay Area Blues Harp. A comprehensive run down of the real stuff that you need to know to get the BIG TONE and STYLE of the Master Blasters, as taught by one of the guys who really knows!
The history of the blues comes alive as GIT's head instructor Keith Wyatt shows how to play classic chord and single-note phrases on the acoustic. This DVD picks up where Acoustic Blues Guitar leaves off as Keith goes deep into the style with advanced chord and melody combinations, bass lines, the blues scale, turnarounds, bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and special fingerpicking ideas. Keith also captures the essence of acoustic blues legends such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, and Lonnie Johnson.
