Robben Ford is not only an innovative master of electric guitar, he's also widely respected as a gifted composer, passionate songwriter and performing artist with a long history of chart-topping hits and Grammy nominations to his credit. SongCraft dives deep into Robben's creative and harmonic approaches for songwriting as he steps you through eight of his own favorite compositions from the Tiger Walk, Soul On Ten, Truth, Blue Moon and Renegade Creation albums. Robben first performs the song solo and then presents the voicings, song form, rhythmic patterns and harmonic structure for each of the compositions. Bonus footage from one of Robben's exclusive live workshops footage includes even more insight into Robben's songs and creative approaches.

SongCraft offers much more than engaging song tutorials; guitar players will feast on Robben's rhythm guitar wisdom, voicings and techniques; composers will be enlightened by the creative insight that Robben weaves into each of the song presentations; and singer-songwriters will be fascinated with how Robben artfully crafts life experiences into captivating lyrics and music.

SongCraft is presented in an interactive video format, which accelerates the learning process with multi-angle video, zooming, looping, interactive tab/notation and many other handy learning tools.
