Jim’s Best-Selling Instructional ACUTAB DVD!! Over 4 HOURS OF In-Depth Instruction… Unlock the secrets of improvising in traditional American fiddle styles. 4 hours on 2 DVDs – with printed booklet. In only ten years as a professional musician, Jim Van Cleve has made quite a name for himself in bluegrass and acoustic music. He’s spent time with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, saw his debut solo CD nominated for a Grammy and toured all over the world with Mountain Heart. He’s become a sought-after Nashville session player and one of the most admired fiddlers in bluegrass. Jim covers many things on these 2 DVDs, but they really break into three sections. After some discussion about early learning experiences, AcuTab’s John Lawless leads Jim through a discussion on improvising and building solos on a number of popular bluegrass standards. Several songs, including Banks Of The Ohio and Pretty Polly, are each played and demonstrated in 3 different keys. Practice techniques, warm-ups, ear-training methods, and speed exercises are all covered in-depth!! Visit Jim’s website at his name with a DOT COM after it!! 😉
