After Pentangle split in 1973 Bert Jansch returned to his prolific solo career but missed playing in a group context. The Bert Jansch Conundrum came into existence as the 1970s waned. Jansch recorded a solo album called A Rare Conundrum in 1977 with mandolinist Rod Clements and fiddler Mike Piggott as supporting players. When Piggott was unable to go out on a Scandinavian tour Martin Jerkins hired on to play violin on the dates. They hit it off and Nigel Portman-Smith came aboard to play bass. They toured Europe and America. Bert recalled: ?I got to know Martin in that period between the original Pentangle splitting up and the beginning of the eighties. I knew him prettywell and we did a lot of gigs together. At one point we were playing with Rod Clements who used to be in Lindisfarne and Pick Withers on drums - I seem to remember Mike Piggott was involved as well; I?ve been in so many different line-ups I just can?t honestly remember!?The first part of this DVD collection presents Bert Jansch Conundrum in concert recorded in Athens Ohio. This is followed by three tunes by Bert and Martin recorded in 1978 in Stockholm Sweden. The DVD concludes with a documentary that Bert recorded in 1985 that combines interviews solo concert performances and rehearsals.

Pickin? With The Book-A DVD of the artistry of Roy Book Binder. No book included. It was 40 years ago that I first recorded for Stefan Grossman’s Kicking Mule record label! Much has changed over the years and much has pretty much stayed the same. I still love the music that caught my attention back in the old days and I still play it. Many of my old pals are gone but they are still a part of my life and they come alive every time I take the stage to tell my story. After 40 years ‘in the game’ I consider myself to be a very lucky man. When your heroes end up becoming your pals life is sweet.you can’t really ask for more than that!” - Roy Book Binder

Grossman writes: I love fingerpicking blues in the key of C. Blind Blake Big Bill Broonzy Rev. Gary Davis Mississippi John Hurt Mance Lipscomb and Tommy McClennan all favored this key. All approached their playing from different angles and perspectives. Mississippi John Hurt had a happy sounding alternating bass style. Big Bill Broonzy combined a driving bass technique. Blind Blake's 'sportin' right hand' would stumble his bass alongside quick single string licks and his piano sounding guitar. Rev. Gary Davis had several techniques playing in C. His most unique was using an alternating bass that never played the root C note. In other arrangements his playing took BlindBlake's ideas and explored them with complex bass movements rhythmic licks and quick single string runs. And then there's Tommy McClennan and his heavy rhythmic right hand. These legendary blues guitarists all played out of first position chords using different right hand approaches and touch. How amazing that there were so many different sounds produced. So many that I found it necessary to expand this lesson to two DVDs running close to four hours of instruction in all. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen. A detailed tab/musicbooklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. As well the original old recordings are included in the Bonus Audio section. Titles and topics include: Cocaine Habit Blues People That I Use To See Can't See No More Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight You Are My Sunshine Tryin' To Get Home You're Gonna Quit Me Love With A Feeling Troubles You May Leave Taking Your Place At The Break Of Day Turn Arounds in C and Searching the Fingerboard 227 minutes - Level 2/3 - Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD

Arranged For Fingerstyle Guitar-This DVD lesson could be titled The Music of Louis Armstrong for Finger-picking Guitar or Gary Davis Meets Louis Armstrong. Born in 1896 the brilliant Piedmont guitarist Gary Davis came of age in the teens and the twenties. Hewas in his prime during the Jazz Age and his playing shows it. His guitar style and techniques came out of the twenties. It enabled him to play like a band. His thumb playing the rhythmic sections of the band while his indexfinger soloed over this. Rev. Davis only used his thumb and index fingers to pick. When asked why he replied with a smile: ?That?s all I need!? In Rev. Davis?s playing you can hear the drive of Louis Armstrong as well as Louis?sbugle call riffs.Rev. Gary Davis's style is made to order to play Louis Armstrong tunes on guitar. As I learned most of what I know and do on the guitar from Rev. Gary Davis this is how I see it and how I have approachedarranging the tunes on this DVD lesson. Once you find the right key on the guitar these early jazz masterpieces seem to fall right into place. Putting Cornet Chop Suey into the key of C for instance enables you to play thepatented ?Gary Davis Slow Drag G form C run' throughout as the statement of the initial melody.This lesson is over 2 hours and forty minutes. The arrangements are for the intermediate to advance players. They aremulti-section compositions with lots of fingerpicking challenges. But all your hard work will be very worthwhile as these tunes are some of the greatest in the early jazz repertoire. Ernie teaches phrase by phrase and then usesthe split-screen so you can carefully study what each hand is doing. Detailed tab/music booklets are included as PDF files on both DVDs.

Bukka White's slashing slide figures and pounding chords are capable of generating a high level of excitement capable of leaving dancers joyously exhausted. Yet there is also a sensitivity and a sense of dynamics to his music. Bukka's lyrics ran the gamut from the perceptive to the surreal. The combination of these two voices places Bukka squarely within the blues tradition and in his own unique niche.In this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you through 10 of Bukka White's tunes. Starting off in Vestapol tuning you'll get his right hand train beat picking down pat with Special Streamline. Next you'll learn to master playing in Cross-Note tuningwith Jitterbug Swing Aberdeen Mississippi Blues World Boogie and Sic Em Dogs On.Bukka's approach to Cross-Note tuning set him apart from his contemporaries and will add a new depth to your own playing. You'll learn Bukka's trick of dampening the 3rd string behind the slide as well as his signature ?Spank the Baby? technique a real crowd pleaser. Moving into Open G tuning you'll learn Poor Boy Fixin' To Die Blues and Gibson Hill. The lesson finishes with When Can I Change My Clothes and Strange Place Blues in Standard Tuning.These carefully selected songs where chosen on the basis that Bukka used similar patterns for many of his songs and by learning these 10 you're really learning his entire recorded works.

Of Scott Joplin James Scott and Joseph Lamb-The great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were written mostly for Piano but many translate superbly for the Guitar and David Laibman will show you how.Here's a mystery: if the great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were not written for Guitar and if they weren't player on the Guitar at all (until some of us started doing so half a century ago) then why do they work so will on Guitar?Well thumb vs. three fingers on the right hand (we'll leave out thepinky for now) creates that subtle antagonism between steady bass and syncopated melody - the 'twinkle in the eye' of Ragtime. There is a theory that the original borrowing actually went in the other directed from three-finger Banjo to Piano. Who knows? But I'm finding that the 'educated thumb' is only one neat thing about ragtime Guitar. Classic rags are very expressive with moods and tempers hills and valley. You can capture some of this with left-hand notes (slides hammer-ons pull-offs) with right-hand brushes rolls nail strokes with clever use of open strings and natural harmonics. This works. It is it's own story - not an imitation of a Piano or of a dixieland or jazz band. It is simply - ragtime Guitar.In these lessons I have tried for the most part to meet two goals. First to create versions of some of the most beautiful classical rags that 'lay down' well on Guitar so when you play them you are working with the instrument not fighting it. I have tried to pitch and arrange the pieces so that a lot of the action is in first position rather than high up on the neck and to keep left hand gymnastics to a minimum. Second I didn't want these arrangements to sound like 'student' arrangements too elementary to be believable. It is all about striking a balance. I am generally pleased with the result and I hope

Taught By Tom Feldman-'Robert Johnson is the most important blues musician who ever lived. I have never found anything more deeply soulful. His music remains the most powerful cry that I think you can find in the human voice.' Eric Clapton'Robert Johnson's music sent me reeling. I couldn't even imagine how someone could play the guitar the way he did and sing at the same time.' Bonnie RaittRobert Johnson is arguably the most well known figure in the history of the blues. Though the 29 songs Johnson recorded from 1936-1937 had little impact during his lifetime a collection of his singles entitled King of the Delta Blues Singers was released in 1961 and found widespread recognition. Then 30 years later The Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson was released selling over one million copies. The first blues recording to do so winning a Grammy in the process.Since that 1961 LP players from all different musical backgrounds have sought to learn Robert Johnson's techniques and in this 3 DVD set with over 5 hours and 52 minutes of instruction Tom Feldmann covers every aspect of Johnson's playing. Each song is performed by Feldmann before he dissects the arrangement verse-by-verse and ends with a split screen segment where the song is played slowly with close up shots of both the left and right hands. This is the most expansive look into the guitar playing of Robert Johnson produced in video form.
