Ranger Doug and Suze’s rhythm guitar instruction book from Centerstream/Hal Leonard!
While Slim, Woody and Joey were having a nice snooze or a fine meal between shows, Ranger Doug and Suze were taking advantage of every spare minute of down time in the Northwest. From the basement green rooms of old theaters everywhere, they chunked out chords on their magnificent archtops, documenting Ranger Doug’s fantastic rhythm guitar style . . . and by golly, it’s all done! Just check in at Suze’s Store for your own personal copy.
Laying down that solid groove for the rest of the band is a joy. Whether big band or small, or whatever kind of music you make swing, you are the heartbeat of your band.
In this book, 23 tunes are transcribed in one, two and three different levels of difficulty: A basic rhythm approach for the newcomers then more adventurous and different approaches. Songs include some favorite western songs, western swing, fiddle tunes, ballads, jazz standards and a polka. Playing tips are also included for each song. Plus you’ll learn: A little rhythm guitar history, rhythm guitar theory, the right hand, with basic chord chart and more. |

Here is a review of Rhythm Guitar the Ranger Doug Way from the Freddie Green Web Site
"Ranger Doug Green of Riders In The Sky is a superb rhythm guitarist, a scholar, and a gentleman. A leading authority on the history of Cowboy and Western music, he is also a historian of swing rhythm guitar and of vintage Stromberg guitars. Ranger Doug's book is divided into two parts. The opening section of the book covers the history of rhythm guitar, rhythm guitar theory, right hand use, chord forms, archtop guitars, and additional resources about rhythm guitar technique. The concluding section contains 27 tunes, including jazz standards, Western swing standards, and even a polka. Each tune is a transcription of Ranger Doug's typical chord voicings. Highly recommended."
