Steve Kaufman's Four-Hour Bluegrass Workout (Homespun Tapes) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Steve Kaufman's Four Hour Bluegrass workout introduces 50 fiddle-type tunes. For each tune, the CDs contain a slowed down version, which I found a great way to learn the melody. Then the band kicks it up a notch to full speed. Some are fairly easy to follow along with and some are blazingly fast...a workout indeed. The melody of the entire tune is played once, then the accompaniment is played twice. I found that playing the chords the first time and then the melody the following two time was an excellent way to learn both parts.
Many standard fiddle tunes are included, with straightforward arrangements, often in the style that is common at jam sessions. Learning these tunes provides a great basis for jumping into jams with other players.
Beginners may find even the chords difficult at times, while advanced players are likely to know many of the tunes. I highly recommend this product to intermediate players looking to learn new tunes and to build speed and technique.

ALL STAR BLUEGRASS JAM-ALONG FOR GUITAR BK/CD (Jam Along Book & CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Grier's jam book is well worth the price. The tune selection is nicely varied, although the picking style is sometimes repetitious. Usually, when I buy a book like this I find maybe one tune worth learning. In this I found four. I do like Grier's picking style for the most part. He plays the tune melody but inserts jazzy emblishments that add interest and challenge to the tunes. This style is like no other I have heard as an expienced jammer on the U.S. east coast. Great for intermediate and advanced pickers. A determined beginner might handle several tunes, but most are pretty demanding. All tunes played at a medium tempo.

These fabulous collections for players of all levels feature 21 must-know bluegrass songs and instrumentals, created especially for learning players by the genre's leading artists. The artist plays a basic solo that states the melody of the tune, then a more adventurous improvisation, and each solo is transcribed in detail. The CD provides the audio versions of the solos, plus multiple rhythm tracks performed at moderate tempo for easy play-along. This great series will help you build your repertoire and get your licks in shape, so you can shine in your next performance or jam session! Songs include: Bill Cheatham * Blackberry Blossom * Down in the Willow Garden * I Am a Pilgrim * I'll Fly Away * In the Pines * John Hardy * Old Joe Clark * Soldier's Joy * more!
