DVD release: December 10, 2007 If you're expecting some nice safe guitar muzak, then you're in for a real shock! Rick Ruskin's remarkable style captures all the nuances of a band/rhythm-section and transforms the parts into amazing, in-the-pocket fingerstyle grooves like you've never imagined on a single guitar! Split-screen video format covers: right- and left-hand technique, walking-bass and counterpoint lines, open-voiced triads, simultaneous bass/rhythm/lead parts, pedal-steel effects, double-stop bends, harmonics and more. The techniques are immediately put to use in extraordinary instrumental versions of: Rikki Don't Lose That Number (Steeley Dan), Georgia On My Mind and four originals, each in standard tuning. His meticulous blow-by-blow analysis of each phrase is loaded with variations and insight that show how to transform the essence of any tune into dynamic arrangements of your own. Truly an important work that should not be missed! Running
Time: 120 minutes "So
brilliant at times that he seems to transcend normal approaches
to the guitar... An excellent tape with very high quality audio
and video."
