Advanced arrangements and interpretations of the music of Reverend Gary Davis for Fingerstyle Guitar Taught by Eric Lugosch Level 4 1 DVD (120 minutes) Detailed tab/music PDF file on DVD. When I listen to Gary Davis, pictures come to mind that reflect the sketches of lifes surroundingscommunity, circumstance, fears, religion, likes and appreciations. He performed and listened to all types of music: Sousa marches, popular songs, cakewalks, hymns, pianists, country blues, and he played them with that wholly unique sound, approach and vision that all musicians covet. He transcends musical categorization. Davis unlocked as many secrets on those six strings as the greatest composers did on their instruments, except without the acclaim, quietly collecting a treasure of hundreds of compositions. The Revs music influenced me, my compositions, my choral sensibility on the fret board. I sang in choirs as a child, and after running out of range..from first soprano to alto, I was given a guitar and had the unique opportunity to study with two of Gary Daviss students right from the start. The arrangements here are an homage to the Rev and I hope they challenge the inspiring guitarist in a good way; by leading a path to where it originates from and hopefully inspiring a path for your own. - Eric Lugosch Titles include: I Will Do My Last Singing In This Land, Ill Be Alright, I Belong To The Band, Oh Glory, How Happy I Am, At a Georgia Camp Meeting
