Flatpicking Guitar Country Style Roots of Bluegrass

This dvd lesson will have you flatpicking lead breaks in styles from Maybelle Carter and Doc Watson. You'll learn to embellish melodies with "hammer-ons" and "pull-offs" for that real old-time country sound, and build solid technique, advancing step by step through single-note arrangements of Thompson's Rag, fiddle hoedowns Arkansas Traveler and Soldier's Joy and a bluesy bluegrass break for Good Old Mountain Dew. Eric's invaluable tips on left-hand fingering and right-hand pick technique are clearly illustrated in split-screen close-ups.

A detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD.
