David Hamburger Sample Lesson

Very nice sample lesson from David Hamburger on acousticguitareworkshop.com, using Freddie Green chord voicings on slow E chord progression.

Saw Hamburger at guitar show in Boston couple of years ago, and he left a lasting impression. His "New School" finger style blues is sort of a jazzed blues style, from what I have seen. Regardless of what you call it, very nice stuff, and he has a pleasant, clear teaching style that is well produced.

Click on the "New School" tab at bottom of the video screen.

Glenn Gould

Sure, you've heard Glenn Gould. You probably assuming he was overdubbing. Wrong.

Jimmy Raney was a natural. His son has posted several videos where Raney is teaching ....

Birelli

So, you think you're a pretty hot guitarist .... you're maybe 28, 32, you've been playing for almost 20 years, you've been in bands. Then you learn that a kid down the street plays guitar. You suggest that he bring his guitar over so you can "jam." You try not to be condescending, but hey, that's hard to do when you're a local guitar legend.

The kid shows up. He's sixteen, and here's how he plays, with his friend Philip Catherine.
