Jazz Classics For Fingerstyle Guitar Vol. 1

Pat Donohue is recognised worldwide as a virtuoso fingerstyle jazz guitarist, with a genre-blending fusion of techniques which makes him the perfect teacher for these jazz classics. The overall theme of these lessons is to show the roots of classic Jazz; leading on to how to arrange a jazz composition and then how to improvise around the arrangement using various techniques. In the first lesson, with the help of three great Jazz compositions, Pat describes the arrangements in detail and then guides you towards improvising over them. An exhaustive lesson, the DVD holds archival footage of the featured songs, including Duke Ellington performing Stormy Weather in 1943. A 24 page booklet of the music accompanies these 81 detailed and practical minutes of Jazz classics which will aid and improve your playing.
