Ray Benson – Learn to Play Western Swing Guitar
Ray Benson nails down the essential techniques of this exciting hybrid of country, jazz and blues. To solidify your rhythm playing, Ray dissects Eldon Shamblin’s traveling bass lines and Freddie Green’s comping and damping methods. Then he shows how to create hot lead lines and apply them to well-known western swing tunes, such as “Faded Love,” “Take Me Back Back To Tulsa,” “Roly Poly,” “Redwing,” “Fat Boy Rag” and “Milk Cow Blues.” Hearing Ray trade licks with the legendary Johnny Gimble is an added treat.
Note: This lesson is for acoustic as well as electric players.
Reviews:
“If after listening to Bob Wills, you want to try your hand at western swing guitar, just mosey on down to your favorite music store and buy a copy of Ray Benson’s instructional video “Learn to Play Western Swing Guitar.” Benson is the leader of Asleep at the Wheel and one of the most popular proponents of western swing currently playing.
“This lesson is aimed at the intermediate to advanced guitar player, and it presumes a knowledge of basic chord theory and jazz rhythm. Benson is aided in his instruction by the great swing fiddler Johnny Gimble. As with almost all Homespun products, the photography is excellent, and the duets between Benson and Gimble are almost worth the price of the tape.” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“Founder and leader of the Asleep at the Wheel, Ray Benson shows the essential techniques and subtle nuances of this exciting hybrid of country, jazz and blues music. Using a 1950s Epiphone Deluxe Zephyr Regent guitar, Benson plays lead lines with embellishments such as octave bounces and arpeggios and describes the work of practitioners such as T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian, and Junior Bernard.
“This isn’t a video for beginning guitar players and even serious amateurs will have to watch closely. What Benson makes look easy is sometimes hard to duplicate without some work, but his easygoing vibe and jams with Johnny Gimble on mandolin make it all lots of fun.” – Vintage Guitar Magazine
