Description

An icon of the folk revival, Jim Kweskin has created a highly effective lesson designed to get anyone playing alternate-thumb style. On-screen charts and step-by-step instruction help novices learn to coordinate thumb and fingers to create bass patterns against syncopated melody notes. For more experienced players, Jim’s licks, chord shapes, bass lines and ways of getting around the fingerboard will improve your technique. Before long you’ll have an amazing set list from the Kweskin repertoire: “Sugar Babe,” “Eight More Miles to Louisville,” “Guabi Guabi,” “Lazy Bones,” “You Took Advantage of Me,” “Buddy Bolden Blues,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” more. Intermediate. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 75 min.
