The second half of the ’50’s was a very special time for music. Chicago Blues was at its peak, Rock & Roll was in its infancy, and Rockabilly and Surf music were right around the bend. Of course, all of these new and exciting styles of music were powered by the electric guitar.BJ Baartmans’ Slapback, Billy & Twang Guitar Guidebook will take you on a learning journey back to the heydays of Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, and Surf instrumentals.
“I discovered a lot of the material that we’ll explore together by reading what other legendary guitar players had to say about their own influences. Jeff Beck credited Cliff Gallup and Hank B. Marvin, George Harrison talked about Carl Perkins, and Keith Richards was heavily influenced by Chuck Berry.” You’ll start the course by digging into several key concepts and techniques. BJ will be using the guitars, amps, and effects that were used to create the distinctive sound of these instrumentals. BJ will then guide you through 10 Performance Studies, all of the original songs composed and performed in the late 50’s guitar style.
You’ll play your way through the 10 studies using hybrid picking, twangy double-stops, jazzy chord voicings, whammy bar techniques and Big Band breaks. For each of the 10 Performance Studies, BJ will first solo over the track and then provide a detailed breakdown emphasizing the concepts and techniques in play.
BJ will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for the key examples and performance studies. Plus, BJ includes all of the jam tracks for you to work with on your own. In addition, you’ll be able to loop or slow down any of the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
Grab your guitar and let’s trip back to the 50’s with BJ Baartmans!
