Broonzy was a master of ragtime and country blues guitar whose playing was highlighted by a strong pulsating bass and melodic lead lines.

THE ART OF ACOUSTIC BLUES GUITAR: LOGIC OF THE FRETBOARD. W. Mann. DVD TAB.

Book/DVD pack. The ability to improvise and create variations within a song is the essence of the great acoustic blues guitarists. Learn a new approach to seeing the fretboard, breaking down chord blocks into smaller pieces and connecting them throughout the fretboard. Using this you can create melodies and harmonies from simple, moveable chord shapes by relying on logic instead of memorized barre chords or scale patterns. And Woody's approach to varying melody and bass lines against each other will help you develop a more syncopated and stronger picking technique. Songs include "Crow Jane," "Cold Rainy Day," "Bye Bye Blues," "Sweet Jivin' Mama," "Policy Blues" and "It is No Secret." Note/tab. 23 page book, 84 minute DVD.
