Basic Techniques for the Contemporary Player Starting the lesson with right-hand fingerpicking technique, Keb' and fellow guitarist Fran Banish demonstrate turnarounds, harmonized scale passages, licks, and movable chord shapes, all played with a strong rhythmic pulse. These elements become the basis for fluid phrases and improvisations in the style of Robert Johnson and other great Blues artists. Then Keb moves on to more complex shapes and progressions to standard Blues fingerpicking. For his song, "Henry", Keb' plays his National steel guitar and discusses the basics of slide technique. 75 Minutes, VHS Video Cassette
