Learn how to play flying piano like the Dirty Bourbon River Show you say? Whaa? Yessir ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Noah was nice enough to make a set of 14 instructional videos explicitly detailing how to become a flying piano master – including the theory, technique, licks, runs, fills, trills and more that make up the unholy style that is the Dirty Bourbon flying piano.

Videos range from absolute beginner-level, like “How To Play a C Major Scale”:

And go all the way up to advanced technique, like polyrhythms at extremely fast BPM, like this video:

Check out the rest of our videos on the DirtyBourbonRiverTV Youtube Channel. There’s a lot of interesting stuff, like how to play New Orleans-style, rag time, boogie woogie, improvisations & more.

We had the pleasure of having Wilmington, NC’s Onward Soldiers here in New Orleans last night with New Grass & Company at the Wolf’s Den. Today, on their way out to SXSW, they dropped by the studio and I recorded a dark, highly visual tune of Sean Thomas Gerard’s, their guit-slingin’ rhymesayer frontman. Check it out:

If you like that be sure to check them out in Baton Rouge tonight at the Red Star bar, and/or at one of their many SXSW dates.

And if ya like that, don’t you worry, we’ll be bringing them back soon enough…

P.S. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everybody!

1 Blues you ough’ta know with Big Charlie: Skip James and the Bentonia School

Skip James was a true Blues-man, born and trained in Bentonia, Mississippi.  Bentonia is quiet little town outside of the Mississippi Delta with a rich history of producing some of the best Blues guitar players/singers.

While each one was as unique as the next, the Blues-men from this town all seemed to play music with an eerie, depressing feel to it, and always in minor keys.  Pair that with the Skip James signature three-finger picking guitar style and an array of unique tunings (mostly in open E minor and even down to D minor)  and you’ve got the Bentonia “school” of the Blues.

Here’s an example of some Bentonia Blues: Skip James singing and playing “Devil Got My Woman”
