Duck Baker is widely heralded as a virtuosic guitar player. A musician capable of displaying a broad range of styles and techniques, Baker moves easily between jazz, ragtime, blues, and Celtic music. Most people who have seen him play agree that there is a unique quality about him that goes beyond his masterful talent. It is this spirit, combined with his far-reaching knowledge of guitar and his innovative nature, that renders him an excellent teacher. This exceptional tutorial takes two standards of swing music Sweet Georgia Brown and Georgia On My Mind, and uses them as a basis for introducing improvisation techniques, expanding the intermediate student's understanding of fingerstyle jazz guitar in an invaluable way. Duck lends his strong grasp of guitar to the material as he presents multiple chord shapes, hot licks, and musical ideas, demonstrating ways of developing improvisations and variations over chord progressions and melodies. His teaching methods are both challenging and truly exciting in a way that the avid pupil should appreciate.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

The troubles of ghetto life are accurately captured in this cinematic time capsule, one of the first films to contain rap music. At the time, the rapping took a back seat to the break dancing and one of the many attributes of BEAT STREET is the authentic street moves on display. The locations also retain their street cred, with graffiti covering subway cars and abandoned buildings populating the mean streets. The story concerns a group of Bronx teens using their dancing, rapping, and artistic skills to lift themselves out of the ghetto. Musician Harry Belafonte teamed with David Picker to produce.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Full Frame - 1.33Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Stereo Surround - English Mono - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.
