DVD-Swing Guitar- Rhythm's Where It's At!
Editorial Review:
Description
Here's a fabulous guitar lesson that will give you all the tools you'll need to become a great rhythm guitarist! Veteran player Mike Dowling demonstrates, clearly and simply, the techniques that put him in high demand as sideman for such legendary players as Joe Venuti, Jethro Burns and Vassar Clements.
Using swing blues as a starting point, Mike covers the basics of chord substitution, rhythm vamps, 10th chords, diminished chords, jump-style syncopations and funky 9th chord blues. He takes a close look at the often-overlooked right hand and introduces the vocabulary of classic swing chords that are guaranteed to add punch and style to your playing.
Mike spends a considerable amount of time on techniques that are designed to help you capture that elusive quality called "swing." He teaches "Sheik of Araby" and "Beaumont Rag," and spends ample demonstration time taking the mystery out of the famous and important "Rhythm Changes."
Ably assisted by renowned Nashville fiddler Buddy Spicher and acoustic bassist Chris Enghauser, Mike uses the trio format to showcase the power of rhythm guitar in an ensemble setting.
In 1975, master fiddler Vassar Clements heard Mike Dowling play swing guitar and hired him for his first touring band. Since then, Mike, who refined his technique under the tutelage of the great George Barnes, has gone from accomplished sideman and session player to solo artist and composer of amazing versatility. Mike's Homespun video "Bottleneck Blues & Beyond" shows that he is an especially effective teacher as well as a superb guitarist.
