DVD - Bottleneck Blues and Beyond

This lesson in bottleneck/slide guitar details the technique that put Dowling in demand as a Nashville session player. Playing mostly in open D tuning, he teaches: "Mean Ol' Frisco," "Stranger Here," "Boogie Woogie Dance," "Swamp Dog Blues" and "Jan's Song," breaking each tune down in detail. Mike explores often-overlooked tricks of the trade that will make even the simplest lines sound great. You'll learn to incorporate fretted chord forms with your slide work, crisp right hand picking patterns, turnarounds, syncopations, damping techniques, and refinements for vibrato. Tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 110 min.
