In a lively, "jam-packed" display of ideas and musicianship, Pat Donohue (with the expert help of Mike Dowling) teaches the necessary strategies that enable two guitarists to make good music regardless of the song or style - even if you've never played a particular tune before. The two pros demonstrate a wide variety of essential skills, taking the mystery out of the use of the capo, using harmonizing chords up the neck, improvising 2nd guitar parts, trading solos and accompaniment, and much more. You'll learn how to jam on the fingerpicking classic "Freight Train", Mike's lyrical original "Wild Rose", up-tempo rags "Salty Dog" and "Gee Whiz", blues tunes "Trouble in Mind", "Blues City" and a terrific two-guitar boogie-woogie. Along the way, you'll get sage advice on important topics that will help you in all of your guitar explorations!
