Description

2-DVD set. Rev. Gary Davis had an enormous repertoire. In this double DVD lesson Hawkins presents some of his most requested rags and minstrel tunes. These vary from “Sally Where’d You Get Your Liquor From” to the complex dance rhythms of “Buck Dance” and “Twelve Sticks” to “Devil’s Dream,” an instrumental played in the Key of F. These arrangements will challenge any guitarist. Ernie teaches each tune phrase by phrase and carefully shows you the right hand picking as well as the left hand fingerings that were unique to Rev. Davis’ approach. Features split screen segments where each section is played slowly and you can study the movements of each hand. Includes audio performances of Rev. Davis playing each song. Beginning/intermediate. 178 min.
