DVD - BELA FLECK - THROW DOWN YOUR HEART dir. Sascha Paladino Photo

This documentary follows the American banjo virtuoso on his trip to Africa to look for the African roots of the banjo and to record an album there. We go with Bela to Tanzania, Uganda, the Gambia and Mali and see the beauty and complexity of "the dark continent." The banjo was originally an African instrument and Fleck is passionate about the banjo. He felt that a trip to Africa was necessary to understand the instrument better. We get a look at Africa that is very different than the way it is portrayed in today's media. Fleck has a great love for African music. We see and hear several of his collaborations with all kinds of musicians from local villagers to international superstars. As he traveled, he used his banjo to transcend whatever barriers there were--speech, culture, etc and he found a common ground with musicians from all over and was able to create, arguably, the most meaningful music of his career. 97 min.

DVD - VAMPING: BEGINNING BACKUP BANJO by Murphy Henry Photo

What is vamping? When you vamp on the banjo, you are playing just chords, no melody. Vamping is what you do when the other person is playing the melody or playing the "lead" or "taking a break." These chords are all 4-finger chords made up the neck (in the higher positions on the banjo). When you vamp, these chords are played on the off beat. Murphy shows you how to make these chords, and goes over the chord changes to each song, one beat at a time. A MUST for the beginning banjo player! Lots of slow playing so you can play along. Ending licks taught for each song. As always, she stresses learning to hear and play these chord changes BY EAR. Taught using the "Murphy Method:" no tab or other written material, taught entirely by ear! Beginners. 120 min.

DVD - JOHN JACKSON - THE VIDEO COLLECTION performed by John Jackson Photo

John Jackson grew up in rural Virginia, listening to the older musicians around him and the blues stars whose records he heard on his family's wind-up phonograph. For a while in his youth, he played at country dances, but mostly he just picked the guitar and banjo for his own amusement. His tastes ranged from the Piedmont blues of Blind Blake, Josh White and Blind Boy Fuller to the hillbilly yodels of Jimmie Rodgers and an old-time banjo style that reached back to the 19th century. Under his friendly country manner he was an indefatigable worker. He recalled a time when musicians would walk twenty miles over dirt roads to get to a house party, play till the wee hours of the morning, then walk home and put in a full day on the farm, and he kept numerous jobs , most famously as a grave digger, into his seventies. He was just as dedicated onstage, an all-around entertainer who mixed his songs with jokes and stories and tried to give his audiences a sense not only of the music he loved, but of the world that had produced it. That world is long gone, but it lives on in the loping rhythms of Jackson's intricate guitar picking and the mellow flow of his honey-slow Virginia drawl. 88 min.

DVD - EARLY JAZZ FOR FINGERSTYLE GUITAR taught by Lasse Johansson Photo

The ragtime and early jazz music pioneers during the first decades of the last century started an American music tradition that is alive to this day. Many of the early jazz songs and of course classical ragtime often is played as piano music, with a steady left hand playing bass notes and chords together with the right hand playing a syncopated melody on top. This style of playing is very similar to the alternating bass style on the guitar. So these tunes easily lend themselves to a fingerstyle arrangement. Intermediate. 110 min.

DVD - REV. GARY DAVIS, THE VIDEO COLLECTION Photo

The first two tracks are taken from a short film that played in theatres in the early 1960s. Pete Seegers Rainbow Quest had one show that featured Rev. Davis along with Donovan and Shawn Phillips. The next two tunes are from this program. In 1969 Rev. Davis traveled to Seattle, Washington to play for the Folkore Society. Tracks 5-12 were filmed by the Anthropology Department of the University of Washington at the home of John Ullman. This is rough footage but shows Rev. Davis relaxed amongst friends and with his trusty cigar! During that stay John was able to take Rev. Davis in to a proper television studio and tracks 15-23 are from this session. These are seminal performances. The independent filmmaker Lionel Rogosin brought Rev. Davis together with other musicians for his film "Black Roots." Tracks 24-26 are from this film. This collection ends with some very rough footage from the wedding celebration of John Gibbon (one of Rev. Daviss earliest New York students). This was originally recorded on reel to reel tape and over the years the tape disintegrated. So what we have left is a faint video image with good sound that shows Rev. Davis enjoying himself at a party with friends. 105 min.

DVD - BETTER LEAD GUITAR THROUGH CHORDS taught by Fred Sokolow Photo

If you're trying to improve your lead guitar playing by studying scales, that's only half the picture. The best lead guitarists in rock, jazz, country, bluegrass and R & B base much of their improvisation and soloing on chords - even when they're playing single note solos. Sokolow shows you several chord based approaches to soloing and backup, covering several genres: arpeggios, country licks and fast flatpicking solos in country/bluegrass tunes like "Jambalaya;" solo and backup R&B like "People Get Ready" and "Just My Imagination;" Steve Cropper-style licks on "Dock of the Bay" and "Under the Boardwalk," Django-style solos on swing tunes like "Avalon." You'll also learn basic music theory as Fred shows you how to find chords up and down the fretboard and connect them in chord families. Tab/music booklet as PDF file. Intermediate. 90 min.
