Rev. Davis approached playing the blues in several different styles. Each had unique characteristics and ranged from what he called "old fashion picking" to complex playing that explored and extended the blues tradition on the fingerboard. Each arrangement is broken down phrase by phrase and then played slowly on a split screen.

A detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. As a bonus we have included various audio performances of Rev. Davis playing each song.
