Rick Ruskin – Fingerstyle Groove Guitar

In this program, Rick Ruskin sets aside the guitaristic cliches that have long been associated with the acoustic guitar. He gets to the heart of what makes an R&B track work on a six-string and teaches you how to think like an ensemble.

His unique “”rhythm-section”” arranging techniques are used to construct captivating parts that emulate the essential (and then some) elements of a rhythm section. Once a groove is established, lead lines and other embellishments are then threaded into the mix. In the end it’s hard to believe that so much music is coming from a single instrument! Rick also demonstrates the process of building groove-oriented compositions from the ground up and applies the techniques to arranging classic tunes such as Otis Redding’s (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay. * He will ignite your creativity by showing how a few changes to a basic riff can yield an entirely different feel from which you can build your own compositions and arrangements. If you’re not already familiar with Ruskin’s material, this video will certainly change your perspective of what is possible on the instrument.
