LB's RAGTIME BLUES (CAGED) VIDEO SEMINAR

Download 20+ Videos, 22 page Presentation

CLICK HERE FOR SPECIAL DISCOUNT ON THIS LESSON

Price $34.95 USD - This is an opportunity to buy and download the materials and videos of the same seminar I teach live at venues, music stores and other events for a 75.00 dollar admission. You can download, print, and keep all of the documentation as well as the videos. Included is a 22 page color book and companion video file for each page. It's just like having me there in person teaching the complete system. This is a perfect companion for the "Big C Rag Lesson Series" posted below. This lesson has clear materials and explanations of all the chord shapes, positions and keys and all common chord sequences for this style of music in charts, photos and diagrams. Many people would call this the CAGED system but I simply call it the guitar. This lesson is a more organized and complete systematic look at the same material we learn in the BIG C RAG lesson except we take a closer look at all chords and all keys. We also take a simple 3 chord country blues song and convert it into a blues rag which is a very enlightening section.  This is how to learn theory without the pain. Practical knowledge of chords and song construction without years of head nodding and boring lessons.

Price $29.95 USD - LB's Big C Blues and Rag Study - This lesson has photos, diagrams and some theory but it's mostly video instruction. In fact there are close to 20 downloadable videos in this lesson that teach all of the classic blues rag songs listed below. We cover a few basic picking patterns but mostly work on the fret hand positions, chords and techniques. Many cool tricks and trade secrets revealed. I highly recommend using this lesson as a companion to the seminar sold above. This being the more practical hands on lesson and the other being heavier on the thinker. You might be a little overwhelmed by this lesson at first but as you listen through the lesson more than once the details begin to sink in and your mind opens up to a whole other level of understanding and organization of the fretboard. The songs and most popular patterns begin to be instantly recognized when you hear them.  All of the songs in this lesson are in the key of C and some of these are explained in the seminar lesson also.

  • Honey It Must Be Love - McTell
  • Jivin Woman Blues - Fuller
  • Cincinatti Flow Rag - Davis
  • Georgia Rag - McTell

Strange Way to Show Your Love - Hybrid Flatpicking Blues - Price 8.95
HEAR FREE AUDIO LESSON PREVIEW mp3
HEAR FREE PREVIEW PERFORMANCE OF THE SONG.mp3 

By popular request this cool lesson that was published in Acoustic Player Magazine is now available for your study pleasure. You can listen to the MP3s above but the song uses 4 basic chord shapes and a picking technique that uses the regular flatpick to strum and play notes but the additional finger picking the high E string makes this a hybrid picking technique. This song is a nice break from most fingerpicked blues songs and has a little more of a contemporary sound. You get a quicktime video plus a full audio lesson as well as tablature files you can print out, view or play on the computer. I go into great detail on this lesson and you can apply these same techniques to hundreds of other songs. You also gain access to the private learning and bonus area hidden on the site. All for the price of 1 pack of strings.  After buying the lesson click the "return to merchant" link to be directed to the lesson page.

Big Road Blues Delta Lesson Flat/Fingerpicking -  Price 19.95
HEAR FREE AUDIO PREVIEW mp3

My first lesson of 2007 and it's the best one yet. I don't think I've ever had a lesson that flows this well and covers all the details as throughly. Includes instructions and demonstrations on the original Sam Chatmon delta style as well as many other ways to play it including strumming or flatpicking. The lesson is made up of 3 super high quality quicktime movies that total up to about 120mb worth of downloads but that also includes mp3, tabs, midi files, images and some more bonus materials. The lesson is based in drop D tuning which is very easy and only 1 string is changed from standard. The song uses only 3 very basic chord shapes and very easy to understand. This lesson will be enjoyable to experienced players and a rewarding challenge for mid level or advanced beginners. Some players will use the strumming method to build their skills then move into the fingerpicking techniques. There's something in this lesson for everyone. BONUS: You also gain access to the private learning forum where there is help, coaching and a gold mine of free lessons.

Dead Thumb Blues Lesson - Price 12.95 US (3 for 1 value)
FREE AUDIO PREVIEW MP3
3 songs in this triple lesson. Two in the key of E and one in G. This is a great technique to start off with thumbpicking since your thumb is only picking one bass string at a time and not alternating like the Travis picking method. It's a very earthy old style of playing blues and I have taken these licks and styles from famous artists such as Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. One song is in the style of Scratch My Back which is a heavily grooving E tune. The other E tune is one I call "Walkin in E" which works up the fretboard a little bit. The other tune is modeled after Mance Lipscombs rendition of Memphis Minnie's classic "Can I do Something for You". Listen to the free mp3 for samples.
