Taught by Dave Van Ronk

In this second series of lessons Dave presents blues and ragtime arrangements.

For the intermediate/advanced guitarist. 32 page tab/music book with three compact discs.

LESSON ONE: This lesson begins with Leroy Carr’s Midnight Hour Blues played in 12/8 time. Blood Red Moon follows played in dropped D tuning. The lesson ends with Blind Lemon Jefferson’s One Kind Favor.

LESSON TWO: Sunday Street is an original Dave Van Ronk song and is an excellent example of Dave’s arranging skills. Four choruses are taught demonstrating how this tune can develop. Bessie Smith’s classic blues You’ve Been A Good Old Wagon played in the key of E is taught.

LESSON THREE: Dave’s arrangement of St. Louis Tickle was the first great challenge for fingerpickers interested in classic ragtime. This four sectioned rag is played in the keys of C and F.
