"Donohue' s genre-bending approach fuses the right-hand Piedmont fingerstyle of Blind Blake and Blind Boy Fuller with the harmonic vocabulary and improvising spirit of Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery.
Guitar Player Magazine

The overall theme of these lessons is to show the roots of Classic Jazz using archival footage; how to arrange a jazz composition and then how to improvise around the arrangement using various techniques. Pat Donohue is a master of fingerstyle jazz guitar. He describes in detail his arrangements as well as how to improvise upon the tunes.

The second lesson presents three more arrangements: Ain't Misbehavin', Georgia On My Mind and Big Blind Bluesy. Archival footage is included that features a 1941 film of Fats Waller performing Ain't Misbehavin' and Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson playing a piano boogie duet from 1942.
