The Art of Acoustic Blues Guitar: Ragtime & Gospel (book/DVD)

OAK Publications
With Notes and TAB

Woody Mann illustrates how the music of one of America's greatest guitarist the legendary Reverend Gary Davis offers a complete lesson in the beauty and subtleties of ragtime and gospel guitar playing.

Reverend Davis was one of the most gifted and original musicians of his generation. His music represents some of the most sophisticated sounds in the world of fingerstyle guitar.
In this program he teaches six of the Reverend's ragtime and gospel originals note-for-note, just as Davis taught him; detailing and explaining the picking techniques, chord positions, and fine points of phrasing.
Woody explores syncopated picking ideas, new approaches to chords and melodies, and explains how to apply Davis's method for creating endless variations and improvisations within a song.
