Ragtime Guitar Of Rev. Gary Davis DVD

| DVD

As a young man Rev. Davis played in a string band with the legendary Willie Walker. Several of the tunes featured on this double DVD lesson come from Walker's repertoire i.e. Make Believe Stunt. Rev. Davis used to talk about Blind Blake's ""sportin' right hand"" and you can hear this influence in all of Rev. Davis's ragtime playing. These are challenging and difficult multipart arrangements. Ernie Hawkins teaches each section phrase by phrase and carefully shows you the right hand picking as well as the left hand fingerings that were unique to Rev. Davis's approach.... You will be able to easily follow the instruction with the tab/music booklet. Also featured are split screen segments where each section is played slowly and you can study the movements of each hand. As a bonus we have included various audio performances of Rev. Davis playing each song. Volume One: Slow Drag (Cincinnati Flow Rag) (77 minutes) Volume Two: C Rag Dont Let My Baby Catch You Here and Make Believe Stunt (Maple Leaf Rag) (96 minutes 48 page tab/music booklet Level 3 [show more]

Ragtime blues guitar tuition. Rev. Gary Davis was an incredible ragtime guitar player. His arrangements illustrate what has become known as the Piedmont guitar style. These are challenging and difficult multipart arrangements. Ernie Hawkins teaches each section, phrase by phrase, and carefully shows you the right hand picking, as well as the left hand fingerings, that were unique to Rev. Davis's approach. Also featured are split screen segments where each section is played slowly and you can study the movements of each hand. Songs comprise 'Slow Drag (Cincinatti Flow Rag)', 'C Rag', 'Don't Let My Baby Catch You Here' and 'Make Believe Stunt (Maple Leaf Rag)'.
