Acoustic Guitar – Jimmy Robinson Youtube

0 Comments 25 October 2009

Every now and then I think it’s important to introduce visitors to this site to acoustic guitar players that they are probably not aware of. Recently I got an email from a player by the name of Jimmy Robinson who said to check out what he was doing, so I did, and I loved his playing. His choice of notes and chords on guitar is quite extraordinary, and also what surprised also was the texture of his voice, how nicely it sat against his guitar. In some of his other material I was hearing snippets of Robbie Basho, there’s a little Hedges in there two and mabe some Bruce Cockburn and at the same time a uniqueness. Jimmy is from New Orleans. I’m grateful for the email and more than happy to share his music with you. Here’s Jimmy’s website, check him out Jimmy Robinson Site

Acoustic Guitar – Twelve Bar Blues Riff

0 Comments 25 October 2009

This weeks post is a twelve bar Blues in G, it’s reasonably simple and can be played at various tempos. I have posted it in the past but have now made it available to a broader audience by re-uploading it so it can be accessed more easily, also I have changed the formatting a litlle so it sits nicer on the page. There are a couple of twists in it, one at he end of bar 8 so it can move chromatically to the D note in bar 9. Also at bar 10 it stays on the D chord instead of dropping to the C chord and in the final bar, be ready to play the last four notes or you’ll miss them. You could do this in a Rockabilly, Country Rock, Bluegrass or slow Blues style. It is just a foundation riff to build on.

Peter Finger Acoustic Guitar Youtube

0 Comments 25 October 2009

Peter Finger is a magnificent acoustic guitar player who I reckon deserves much broader recognition. There are a stack of guitar players out there who are rated very highly and often they are only half the player of guys like Peter. Peter is a European based Guitar Player and if you haven’t heard him maybe it’s time to check him out. The tune is called Vive La Vie. This tune reminds me a little of one Pierre Bensusan’s tunes. Here is another video of Peter Finger at the Guitars dot Net site

Crosby Stills and Nash, set the benchmark for all other acoustic guitar bands with vocal harmonies to be measured by. To hear another Crosby Stills Nash on Youtube, go to Wasted on the Way
