- Synopsis:
The six gospel and blues arrangements that Geoff Muldaur teaches on this DVD are filled with great musical ideas and powerful guitar techniques. With his rare musical intelligence, Geoff sheds light on how, with small and easy changes, you can create exquisite guitar arrangements for your favorite songs. Geoff takes the standard ingredients of fingerstyle playing - alternating bass, arpeggio rolls, moving lines, harmonized scales and syncopated melodies - and combines them with licks and chord voicings that add a jazz flavor to traditional music. He covers standard tuning as well as songs in dropped D, open G and open C. You'll learn to play soul-shaking gospel songs Just a Little While to Stay Here, Trouble Soon Be Over and Geoff's own I Believe I'll Go Back Home. In the blues department, Geoff teaches his amazing arrangement of Wild Ox Moan and his original blues/ballad got To Find Blind Lemon (including some vintage Blind Lemon licks). Finally, Delta blues riffs and rich chord shapes make a powerful setting for Blind Willie Johnson's Tears Come Rolling Down. - Actors:
