This two-hour DVD is a presentation of the 19-year project by Charles Postlewate on extending right hand technique for Guitar to include the little finger. PART I presents this technique in actual repertoire includingstandard Guitar repertoire (by Barrios Sor Torroba and Villa-Lobos) new arrangements and transcriptions and original compositions. It features complete performances of twelve pieces recorded on Postlewate's Homage toVilla-Lobos CD (Prism 9904) and published by Mel Bay Publications in the book by the same name. Each performance is introduced by Postlewate with explanations and demonstrations of how and where the little finger is used in theexecution of scales chords arpeggios tremolos and harmonics with close-up shots of the right hand. PART II explains the training of the right hand in a five-finger technique with demonstrations of the above techniquesusing sample studies from the different chapters of his book Right-Hand Studies for Five Fingers. As in PART I close-up shots show the viewer precisely how to position the right hand and move the fingers for each study or set ofstudies. Each set of studies uses a special progression up and down the fingerboard and like the book this video demonstrates how to make chromatic variations of these progressions to increase the interest. At the end of PART IIPostlewate demonstrates how the guitarist can develop similar studies to fit specific right-hand problems not covered in this book and video. The video ends with an ENCORE interview of five questions and answers withCharles Postlewate to give some background information on this historic project.

Is the beginning stage of learning the guitar proving to be a frustrating experience? Do you lack songs which you can play from start to finish? Do the ones that you can play all the way through not sound much like their originalversions? I have been teaching these pieces to my beginner students for quite some time now and the success rate has been remarkable. Most methods start by having the student slowly move back and forth between basic chords usingonly down strokes playing chords one note at a time to make sure all the notes ring clear. This book offers something much different—playing music! The pieces are designed to target trouble areas often experienced by beginners ofthe instrument: arching the fingers enough in order to let all the notes of a chord ring clearly. Rather than just droning on through a series of chords musical patterns are created so that as you learn proper technique you’realso playing something musical. The results have been better than expected. Focusing on figures that demand proper technique and some of the most common strumming patterns found in popular music many of my students are able toexecute beginner and intermediate level songs within a few weeks of picking up the instrument rather than a few months. Additionally the dreaded F chord or root 6 major barre chord often rings clearly with all 6 notes beingheard upon the first attempt. This book will help you achieve your guitar related goals quickly more efficiently and most importantly more enjoyably. Includes access to online video.
