Contemporary acoustic fingerstyle blues encompasses a wide variety of styles, techniques and sounds. In this lesson, Stefan Grossman teaches four multi-sectioned blues instrumentals that are bases on traditional techniques, blues piano ideas, single-string melodic guitar licks and horn styled solos. The music varies from a piano styled boogie to a slow country blues reminiscent of the playing of Blind Blake and Jelly Roll Morton to a New Orleans blues in the style and feel of Ray Charles and Snooks Eaglin. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD.
