Steve James, a favorite performer on the contemporary acoustic blues circuit, details five pieces in different blues styles for the learning guitar student. He covers Texas and Delta-style fingerpicking, a New Orleans jazz-blues tune, and bottleneck pieces in open G and Open D tunings. Includes invaluable insights into the use of chord inversions, finding “blue” notes, use of dominant 7th, diminished chords and scales, and much more. Songs: Sugar Babe • Wet Laundry Blues • Buddy Bolden's Blues • Stack Lee's Blues • Hot Time on the Old Town Tonight. 80 minutes.
