Acoustic Masterclass Series -- 101 Blues Guitar Essentials (2 DVD)

Publisher: Alfred Music
Includes a bonus 45-page PDF of all music from the DVD in TAB and standard notation

One of the last true bluesmen who learned from the old masters, Doug MacLeod is a man who has lived the music, survived the life, and now carries forward the tradition. A prolific recording artist, his songs have been covered by blues artists like Albert Collins and Albert King.

On this two-DVD set, Doug shares a wealth of blues guitar secrets. Doug does more than show viewers 101 blues licks; he shows guitarists how to build a song from bottom-end root notes to advanced 8-bar and 12-bar blues progressions.

Features 6 hours of footage, including Solid Air's trademark multi-angle viewing feature. Viewers can choose between 3 separate camera angles anytime during the DVD - the traditional view of the artist, as well as close-up views of the artist's left and right hands.

Lessons include "Essential Techniques for Left & Right Hand," "One Chord Grooves," "Exploring the Neck for Greater Range," "Turnarounds," "Octaves," "12 Bar & 8 Bar Blues," and "Variations on Open G Tuning."
