Guitar Techniques - from Folk to Jazz
As taught by Bob Brozman
Bob Brozman shares his vast knowledge of a half-century of American guitar music while
teaching you how to move beyond basic folk style into the worlds of blues, jazz, ragtime
and swing. With his dynamic finger picking and deep understanding of traditional styles,
Bob gives you the tools to explore your guitar's rhythmic, harmonic and melodic possibilities.
The first 75 minute video will increase your understanding of chord voicings and inversions
up and down the fingerboard. Clear split screen views of each hand enhance the instruction
in: music theory, progressions, picking patterns, right and left hand exercises, chord
melody, two-hand string damping, harmonics, diminished chords and double time rhythm
while learning to play Salty Dog Blues, Jazz'm Blues and Sister Kate.
The second 65 minute video looks at jazz, swing, calypso and Gypsy guitar styles. This
video explores: the 32 bar popular song form, chord-melody style, rhythmic exercises,
minor key jazz-blues, calypso rhythms and progressions, Django-style chords, Palm harmonics,
'fat' swing chords and Gypsy jazz. The tunes taught include Hot Moments With You,
Dear, Blue Devil Blues and Dog and Cat.
