The Open D Tuning (D A D F# A D), also referred to as the Vestapol tuning, is a powerful and evocative tuning that was widely used by guitarists in the 1920s to play country blues, ballads, rags and folk tunes. In this lesson I focus on arranging five of my favorite blues melodies in Vestapol plus an original instrumental. The religious tune When I Lay My Burden Down was in the repertoire of both Black and White traditional guitarists. I have arranged it in an Elizabeth Cotten/Mississippi John Hurt style. The beautiful blues Goin’ To Germany was recorded by the Cannon’s Jug Stompers in the 1920s. I have always wanted to find the right setting for this melodic country blues and the Vestapol tuning gave me the feel and textures that I was looking for. Sam McGee played guitar behind Uncle Dave Macon when he recorded, I’ve Got The Morning Blues in Vestapol. This is a fun tune to play and leads nicely in to Hesitation Blues, a song recorded by many artists. My arrangement tries to combine a sliding jug sound with some funky blues licks. Peg Leg Howell’s Skin Game Blues is a rare example of an early blues song with three distinct sections. Peg Leg played this with a bottleneck but for our arrangement we will rely on our fingers to make the notes sing out. We finish the lesson with Innocence Abroad. An original instrumental that ties together the right and left hand techniques we have studied. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. Bonus audio tracks of the original 1920s recordings are included. These are the records I first heard that influenced me to rearrange the melodies to the Vestapol tuning. 105 minutes DVD is region 0, playable worldwide.

With Beginning Fingerstyle Guitar, author John Miller has written a book designed to provide newcomers to this style, whether first-time guitarists or guitarists who have previously only played with a pick, the techniques needed to develop a solid foundation for playing fingerstyle. The book uses songs for teaching, presenting multiple ways of playing a song, starting simply, and building gradually in terms of technical difficulty. And the exercises are designed to build skills in a wide range of fingerstyle skills: strumming, thumb-lead playing, pattern picking, and melody arrangements with the thumb playing alternating bass. What specific features does the book offer for the beginning fingerstyle guitarist? • Over fifty exercises, for playing through the songs, all notated in both standard notation and tablature. • Links to sound samples for all of the exercises, with each exercise played at a slow tempo, for starting out, and a target tempo, with all of the exercises counted in, so that you can play along with them. • Chord diagrams are provided for each song with the fingerings indicated that you would need to play the exercises. • Playing tips precede each exercise, offering guidance on how to play the exercises with the greatest ease and efficiency in both the picking and the fretting hands. • A special section on playing Blues at the end of the book. Additional guidance is offered on understanding tablature, practicing, developing your tone, scale structure and transposition and use of a capo. So, in Beginning Fingerstyle Guitar, you will find a full service instruction manual—one that has been designed to enable you to progress comfortably at your own rate of learning, while steadily building skills and moving forward in terms of your own confidence and willingness to accept new challenges.
