Some call it
country guitar with a dash of rock, blues and jazz. Others call it modern
Nashville-style guitar. We call it Big Twang and no one’s better qualified to
help you get a grip on the style than our very own bona fide master twanger, Joe
Dalton.
Derived in
part from "country" guitar, twang is really a modern hybrid of blues, country,
rock and jazz guitar. Players like Albert Lee, Arlen Roth, Danny Gatton, Johnny
Hiland, Ray Flacke, Leon McAuliffe, Brent Mason, Chet Atkins, Scotty Anderson,
Red Volkaert, James Burton and Jimmy Bryant
all have their own classic Big Twang signature sound and technique. But today,
contemporary players
across all styles have incorporated twang influences in their signature sounds.
Ever
hear one of your favorite blues, rock
or jazz players throw out a cool pedal steel lick or two into their solos?
That's Big Twang. Dig that chicken picking stuff so many modern blues players
spice their stuff up with? That's Big Twang. Western swing, rockabilly and
country-fried bends and pulls are also part of the Big
Twang. Whatever your preferred style may be, Big Twang will broaden your
vocabulary of phrases, colors and techniques to draw from and distinguish your
sound.
You
will work through a wide variety of rhythm and soloing parts across five distinct
Big Twang grooves that Dalton has prepared to illustrate the diversity of the style.
Key learnings include mastering the many different attacks required with the
picking hand along with the essential “touches” required from the fretting hand.
As you work with the material Dalton will cover hybrid picking, chicken-picking,
pull-offs, hammer-ons, double-stops, pedal steel emulation, ending, slides,
pluck ’n cluck, staccato and legato effects, tips for crafting a good solo,
syncopation, vibrato and tons of other tricks of the twang trade.
The bonus
companion material features six of Dalton’s most popular audio lessons: 25
Country Licks You Should Know, Rockabilly Stretches of Doom, Nashville's A-Team,
Get Bent: Country String, Country Rhythm: Going Chordless and Country Lead.
All in all,
Big Twang delivers enough solid material to keep you busy in the shed honing
your own Big Twang thang!
