The Country Blues Guitar of Catfish Keith (VHS)

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Catfish Keith has established himself as one of the most exciting country blues performers on the scene today. His innovative style of foot-stomping, deep Delta blues and American roots music has had audiences spellbound across the U.S. and abroad. In this outstanding lesson, Catfish teaches his trademark arrangements of seven traditional country blues songs, from Mississippi to the Caribbean. In each case, he first plays the tune, then slows it down to highlight how he achieves his dynamic effects. His intense fingerpicking style features heavy vibrato, snapping bass strings, powerful strums and riffs, deep bends, artificial or harp harmonics, bottleneck slide and plenty of funky attitude!
