For many aspiring players, the ability to maintain a rock-steady rhythmic pulse with their thumb while picking out off-the-beat melody notes with their fingers represents a holy grail of country, folk and blues playing. Drawing on four decades of teaching experience, Happy Traum has devised this nearly foolproof method to help them get off to a great start. The simple children's song Skip to My Lou helps teach the basic concepts before getting into fingerpicking standards such as: Spike Driver's Blues * Green, Green Rocky Road * Staggerlee * Nine Pound Hammer * Hobo's Lullaby. 100-MIN. DVD * LEVEL 2 * INCLUDES MUSIC TAB |
