Ari Eisinger: The Ragtime And Blues Guitar Of Blind Blake

Blind Blake's recordings, made in the 1920s and 1930s, set a standard for ragtime blues Guitar virtuosity that remains unmatched. His famous ""double-thumb"" right-hand technique is part of a syncopated sound that is unlike that of any other guitarist. His recordings, with their rhythmic drive and ingenious variations, remain a source of endless delight (as well as frustration) for today's acoustic blues guitarists. In this double DVD Ari Eisinger explains and demonstrates two key components of Blind Blake's style: his right-hand technique and his unique chord progressions. He then provides detailed demonstrations of eight of Blake's Guitar breaks and accompaniments from some of his best recordings. These include the well-known songs and instrumentals Rope Stretchin' Blues and the amazing (and amazingly fast) Southern Rag , as well as the wonderful, but often overlooked, Baby Lou Blues and Tootie Blues . The lesson provides both an introduction to Blake's style and a detailed demonstration of some of his most advanced instrumental breaks. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on each DVD. In addition the original old recordings of all the tunes are included.
