DVD - Chris Smither Teaches Six Outstanding Fingerpicking Arrangements

Chris Smither's high groove guitar style has made him popular for decades. Here he shows you how alternating thumb, syncopated two-finger picking and a variety of left hand techniques can create rhythmic drive and distinctive harmonies. You'll learn: "No Love Today,"an evocation of old New Orleans street life; "Drive You Home Again," a moody minor key blues; "Get a Better One," with infectious single note riffs against a steady bass groove; "Leave the Light On," straight ahead fingerpicking on open D; Lightnin' Hopkins "Blues in the Bottle" taught on both 12-string and 6-string guitars; and Bob Dylan's "Visions of Johanna." Intermediate. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 90 min.
