DVD Reviews of Ranger Doug Rides the Rhythm Range
DVD Review: A Delightful Look at Rhythm Guitar
Summary: 5 Stars
Doug Green is more than a guy in a cowboy hat singing western songs, he is a man that is well versed in Cowboy music and who has studied its every nuance; in short, he is a perfectionist when it comes to his art. This DVD shows how he does it using the types of chord voicings authentic to this music.
It starts with a couple of Riders in the Sky numbers done live before the camera including a flubbed ad-lib of the lyrics by Too Slim. Just these performances by themselves are enough to make this DVD worth owning. Doug plays a beautiful natural-finished Stromberg guitar for these sequences and the sound he gets is outstanding.
Next, the instructional phase of the video where Doug shows you his tricks for getting the sound he does. Doug switches to a second Stromberg for this part, a reddish sunburst model that is to die for. The voicings he teaches are from the era of great rhythm players and he wisely shows how to use both 3 and 4 note voicings together when arranging a rhythm part. There is also a chord chart included with some sample passages in print so you can practice the material at your own pace. I've been playing for 40 years and I learned a couple of new tricks the first time through. Many times I've watched it just for the entertainment value and I've had copies shipped to two of my closest guitar-playing friends.
One last thing to mention is that Doug Green stays "in character" throughout the video as Ranger Doug, the idol of American youth. It only adds to the already abundant charm of this truly delightful presentation.

Description of Ranger Doug Rides the Rhythm Range
Swing rhythm never left, but it's getting harder to find someone to teach it! Noted swing rhythm guitarist Ranger Doug of Riders in the Sky takes you step-by-step through the process of expanding your technique on swing rhythm. Whether you play in a swing band, a cowboy quartet like Riders in the Sky, or gypsy jazz, this DVD offers you an absolutely unique and up-close look at chord forms, patterns, right and left hand technique, and insider tips by a swing rhythm master who has been playing this style for over 30 years. In addition, two western classics, "Wah Hoo" and "Tumbling Tumbleweed," are not only broken down and explained in detail, but are performed by 2-time Grammy winners Riders in the Sky in a mini-concert, so that the lesson on those two tunes is exemplified in live performance. Saddle up, saddle pal, and ride the Rhythm Range with Ranger Doug! Includes transcription booklet.Bestsellers in DVD
