"Donohue' s genre-bending
approach fuses the right-hand Piedmont fingerstyle of Blind Blake
and Blind Boy Fuller with the harmonic vocabulary and improvising
spirit of Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery.
Guitar Player Magazine
The overall theme
of these lessons is to show the roots of Classic Jazz using archival footage;
how to arrange a jazz composition and then how to improvise around the
arrangement using various techniques. Pat Donohue is a master of fingerstyle
jazz guitar. He describes in detail his arrangements as well as how to
improvise upon the tunes.
The second lesson
presents three more arrangements: Ain't Misbehavin', Georgia On My Mind
and Big Blind Bluesy. Archival footage is included that features a 1941
film of Fats Waller performing Ain't Misbehavin' and Albert Ammons and
Pete Johnson playing a piano boogie duet from 1942.
