Martin Carthy - British Fingerstyle Guitar - DVD
Martin Carthy has forged his own personal and unusual approach to fingerstyle guitar. He has developed his own tunings and right hand techniques to enable him to play British traditional folk music. This body of music is rooted in a vocal tradition of hundreds of years as well as a strong dance culture. It is not bound by any time or bar structure. The guitarist must find ways to explore, accent and embellish these melodies. Martin has successfully done this with the CGCDGA tuning. He plays with a heavy percussive attack reminiscent of a country bluesman and the gritty rhythm of a diatonic accordion player. He has a unique sense of phrasing and a strong emotional and atmospheric feel for his music. In this video lesson, Martin explains in detail his playing techniques and style for seven of his most popular arrangements. Titles include: "Old Tom of Oxford, The Heroes of St. Valery, The Siege Of Delhi, La Cardeuse, McVeagh, The Harry Lime Theme, Seven Yellow Gypsies".

The complete set of Twelve Spanish Dances transcribed and arranged for guitar by John Griggs.

Antonio Carlos Jobim: An All-Star Tribute - DVD
Direct from Brazil comes this deeply appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), co-founder and leading composer of the Bossa Nova. With over four hundred songs to his credit, Jobim single handedly brought the Bossa Nova to the world, where it became a main ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the Samba to the intimacy of syncopated guitar, while echoing the melodies and harmonies of cool jazz. This is an extraordinary gathering of jazz giants and together with Jobim himself (in his last recorded concert appearance), they recreate his classic melodies in a beautiful, concert-length (Thank You"). Songs include: "Once I Loved" - Shirley Horn: vocals, piano, "Aqua de Beber" -Gonzalo Rebulcaba: piano, "Olha Maria" -Gonzalo Rubalcaba: piano, Joe Henderson: tenor sax, "O Grande Amor"-Joe Henderson: tenor sax, "Chega de Saudad" -Jon Hendricks: vocal, Herbie Hancock: piano, "AFelicidade" -Gal Costa: vocals, Herbie Hancock: piano, "Se Todos Fossem" -Gal Costa: vocals, "Iguais a Voce - Luiza" -Antonio Carlos Jobim: piano, "Wave" - Antonio Carlos Jobim, "Girl From Ipenama" -Gal Costa, Jon Hendricks: vocals.

John Jorgenson - Intro to Gypsy Jazz Guitar - Book, DVD & CD
In this 2-hour DVD lesson, Jorgenson provides the foundational information and practice material necessary for you to gain an understanding of the Gypsy jazz guitar style. The first half of this volume addresses the important element of Gypsy jazz rhythm. After discussing correct right hand rhythm technique, Jorgenson teaches the closed chord forms of a basic blues progression and then systematically introduces new chords into that progression to add "color" and "spice" while also introducing you to the characteristic "moving chord" style of Gypsy rhythm. After addressing the basic blues progression, Jorgenson then transitions into the more Gypsy sounding minor blues progression and introduces the "three-note" chords which are prominent in Gypsy style rhythm guitar. The second half of this first volume addresses soloing. Here Jorgenson not only lays the groundwork of Gypsy jazz soloing, but in the process also presents you with a method which serves to greatly enhance your understanding of the fingerboard and improvisational playing. Jorgenson teaches arpeggios, note maps, lead patterns and Gypsy techniques in every area of the fingerboard and in various keys. Additionally, he masterfully shows how the arpeggios and patterns relate to one another.

Django Rheinhardt - Django's Rhythm - DVD
Taught by Michael Dunn with guitar solos by Don Ogilvie. In this DVD, the classic 4-to-the-bar rhythm is broken down into four separate usable styles. After that, Django's syncopated rhythm shots are analyzed and presented by example from a simple back-beat to 2-bar-long syncopated strums. My own philosophy is that the rhythm guitar section is the most important component of the Gypsy Jazz group. The rhythm guitar should be in a position to drive and not follow the group. The information contained in this DVD will give you the rhythmic tools to infuse the sound with the energy that this genre of music deserves. Lessons include: the pick & picking, basic rhythm & variations, ballads, concepts of rhythm guitar, advanced rhythm: hiccup, shuffle rhythm, double shuffle, tremolo, half whammy, short whammy, double whammy, triple whammy, tango rhythm.

The colorful sounds of the guitar are well suited to the music of Ireland and Scotland. Jody Stecher has developed a unique approach to flatpicking Celtic music drawing on the sounds & techniques of the harp, fiddle and pipes.

Building on a base of a confident and deliberate right hand, more challenging left hand work is gradually introduced.
