Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Jorma Kaukonen's first musical influences were the fingerpicking blues of Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy and other traditional players. From those inspirations, he built the acoustic guitar style that has made him a top guitarist and a legendary figure in the pop music world. Homespun Video is proud to present this insightful video lesson. Jorma breaks down his fingerpicking style, lick by lick, and gives important tips on use of the slide, open tunings, right hand picking and innumerable other techniques. You'll learn four of Jorma's favorite pieces in detail, and in no time will be playing traditional tunes "West Coast Blues" and "Hesitation Blues," as well as classic originals "Crystal City" and "Embryonic Journey." Close-ups, split-screens and other video techniques help you see and hear Jorma's powerful guitar technique, providing intriguing guitar study and invaluable insights into his approach to his music. As a special bonus, Jorma and long-time Airplane/Hot Tuna partner Jack Casady demonstrate how two players, on bass and guitar, can collaborate to develop a song together.

Learn to play the Jorma way !
Having always been a fan of Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna, I was searching for an instructional video program that would teach me the Jorma style. Not only did I find what I was looking for, but Jorma teaches his style himself! A must have for all guitar playing Hot Tuna fans.

Like an old friend teaching
Step by step, comfortable style, like having an old friend teach you that song you've always wanted to learn. I've got all three of Jorma's videos and an extra volume 1 to give to a friend. If you want to learn how to make that right hand work work a little harder, this one's for you. The songs included are Jorma's good stuff too. (more so on vols 2 and 3) If you're new to fingerpicking styles, hang in there with vol 1. It may take some work but the West Coast Blues lesson is a great start.

Great instruction for the rusty old intermediate guitair pla
Keep the rewind button handy you'll need it to keep up with the pace. Jorma makees open tuning, slide playing and the homespun sound approachable and fun.

great instr for the beg-intermediate guitarist
An excellent how-to video by the guitarist from Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna. A cool duet with bassist Jack Casady. songs include West Coast Blues, Hesitation Blues, Embryonic Journey & Crystal City. I highly recommend the 3rd tape for the more advanced player. Has twice as many songs because the pace of instruction is much faster
