A Nuts & Bolts Approach to Exploring Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar - for folk, pop, or blues guitarists

taught by Rolly Brown

Choosing four of his favorite jazz standards, Rolly Brown presents an inside view into his construction of a fingerstyle guitar version of each tune. With a concentration on sophisticated but easily fingered chord positions, this lesson offers an excellent introduction into the world of jazz for folk, pop, or blues guitarists who are ready to expand their panorama of musical colors. The tunes move from the more familiar keys, C and G, into approachable "starter" keys for jazz: F and Bb, and move from the more predictable (The Way You Look Tonight) to the more structurally challenging (Stella By Starlight). Tab PDFs help the student learn specific arrangements for each tune while the video lessons give ample ideas for expanding and improvising on the tunes. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen.

Titles include: The Way You Look Tonight, Darn That Dream, It Could Happen To You and Stella by Starlight

Running time: 96 minutes. Tab/Music material is on the DVD as PDF files.  DVD is region 0, playable worldwide.
