DVD-Rockabilly Guitar #1

Taught by Jim Weider,with Levon Helm (drums), Rick Danko (bass), Chris Zaloom (guitar).Rockabilly was formed from the marriage of country music and rhythm & blues. Jim Weider teaches the guitar tricks and licks of the guys who started the new rock ‘n’ roll of the ’50s and early ’60s. Both these videos are overflowing with colorful licks, rhythm patterns, chord work, scales and exercises. Jim uses the original instruments and amps to demonstrate while providing technical tips on the use of whammy bar, amp tremolo, Echoplex and other important tricks of the trade.

This lesson teaches the country fingerpicking (using flatpick and fingers) that Scotty Moore used on Elvis Presley’s early hits; how Duane Eddy got his twangy sound; and how Paul Burlison’s single-string lead work influenced contemporary players like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and others. “BUY NOW”
