Fred Sokolow - Travis Picking For Beginners - DVD
- Merle Travis' brilliant fingerpicking
style inspired Chet Atkins and
generations of country, folk, bluegrass and rock guitarists. Travis picking is a
very complete use of the guitar: when you play steady, alternating bass notes
with your thumb and pick
melodies with your fingers you're playing lead, rhythm
and bass all by yourself. But how do you keep that
thumb-bass independent so it
doesn't get derailed when your fingers pick the melody? Fred makes it easy for
beginners or intermediate guitarists by breaking it all down and taking each
song step by step. First you learn
the melody, then add the bass, then add the
syncopation that makes it swing. Split screen versions of the
songs with
close-ups of both hands will help you learn Travis style - it's a great
introduction to fingerpicking!
Songs include: "Nine Pound Hammer, I Am a
Pilgrim, Windy and Warm, Whispering, Mack the Knife".

Happy Traum - Easy Steps to Acoustic Blues Guitar - DVD -
Vol 2
- The key
to all country blues playing, and the
heart of this style is in your ability to play
a rhythmic bass pulse
with your thumb while your fingers pick out syncopated
notes on the high strings.
Happy Traum's "easy
steps" learning concept divides this all-important style
into modules that you can
digest one element at
a time. Through the use of carefully thought-out
exercises, he methodically takes this
style apart so that
any aspiring player can pick it up. You'll learn how to
"break up the chords" (the way
Happy learned
personally from Brownie McGhee) as well as the funky "Lightnin'
Hopkins lick", shuffle

variations on blues chord progressions and arrange-
ments of "Rock Me Baby, Baby Please Don't Go, Trouble In Mind"

classics. This is an
almost foolproof method for building solid guitar technique
while learning to play licks,
accompaniments,
songs and solos in the blues style. (90 min) Booklet
