Duck Baker – Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar: Bop To Modern

Salepage : Duck Baker – Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar: Bop To Modern

There are three videos from Duck Baker on the art of fingerstyle jazz guitar. The kind of guy you instinctively feel should be internationally declared as some kind of innovator’s master, not only for his sheer technique as an indisputable guitar virtuoso, but for his free-ranging spirit, is Baker. In these videos, you can see the beginnings of that opinion, as Baker brings his knowledge of guitar to life. His ability to teach and explain his ideas is more important than his virtuosity. Music and tab for the tunes are included with the split-screen-filmed video which allows for simultaneous up- close viewing of left and right hand movements. These are excellent for intermediate level players. There is something very special about Baker. Artists who inspire but also intimidate other players are some of the best. Baker took a song like Take the A Train and made it sound like it was a guitar tune for a big band. If you want to work at this person’s work, he presents it in a way that puts it within your reach.

Sing Out!

The lesson focuses on bop and modern jazz. The approach for the fingerstyle guitarist differs from those used in playing swing tunes in that the bass lines are inappropriate to the more contemporary styles of modern jazz. The music of Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Benny golson, Sonny Rollins, and the South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim are featured in this dvd.

Blue Monk, Sweet and Lovely, Out of the Past, St. Thomas, Tintiyana and Mr. Jelly Roll Soul are some of the titles.
