A sample from "Norman Blake's Guitar Techniques DVD 1 - Songs, Instrumentals and Styles" available as an instant download here: leapingbrain.com This DVD is a boon to all players who want to explore country flatpicking and the smooth, uncluttered Norman Blake guitar style. In his clear and concise way, Norman covers the basics of his technique so that even near-beginners will gain the important skills necessary to play in this style. You'll learn alternating strokes, rolls, crosspicking, single string/rhythm chord combinations and other aspects of his right-hand style, plus slides, pull-offs, hammer-ons, chord positions and melody notes. Nancy's back-up technique is highlighted, and Norman gives tips on use of the capo, open strings and special tunings.Songs and instrumentals include "Whiskey Before Breakfast," "Gray Coat Soldiers," "Prettiest Little Girl In The Country," "The Wreck Of The Old '97," "Ginseng Sullivan," "Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine."Review:"Even in the velvet draped background of a video recording studio, the listener feels like they've been invited to a special one-on-one lesson on Blake's own back porch.

Norman Blake sat in with the Tennessee Three for most episodes of the show, but never stood up and rarely received any acclaim. That was rectified on the Nov. 25, 1970 Thanksgiving Show. Featured are "Folsom Prison Blues" and a standard whose name I'm only guessing at, "Mama Don't 'Low," that features Blake in solos on multiple instruments. I like Blake's work when he's singing even better. If you're unfamiliar with him, I can't recommend highly enough that you go check him out on the iTunes, or wherever you download your music from. + Informações
