How To Cheat At Guitar - VHS Video

Here are some of the tricks of the trade that have made Adrian Legg one of the most sought-after fingerstyle guitarists on the scene today: Altered tunings, harmonized scales, banjo tuners, half capos, string bends, pedal steel licks and other means by which he "cheats at guitar". You'll explore nine original instrumentals, each utilizing devices that Adrian has pioneered to achieve his thrilling sound.

Starting with an easy but inventive arrangement of "Silent Night" (complete with variations), Adrian then introduces you to "Born Again Idle", with his trademark use of banjo tuners to generate key changes and startling melodic effects. You'll learn how to imitate the sound of the pedal steel guitar on "Auld Lang Syne", while the intro to "Hymn For Jaco" and the Celtic-sounding "Norah Handley's Waltz" give you a workout on impressive double-string bends.

"After The Gig" and "Pieta" both use half capos, cut down so that they only cover three or four strings. "Brooklyn Blossom", a spectacular show-stopper played mainly in banjo frailing style, and "Pace Doc", a traditional-sounding fingerpicking tune full of hammers, bends and tricky chord shapes, finish the lesson in great style.

This video is in NTSC format, and will work only in U.S. and Canadian VCRs. "How To Cheat At Guitar - VHS Video" weighs 10.56 oz.
