Picking Up Speed-Drills and Tunes for Flatpick Guitarists by Steve Kaufman


You’ll learn how to play syncopated runs and crosspicking patterns with ease, as well as a cross-picked version of "Wildwood Flower" that will amaze your listeners. Steve shows you how triplets and doubletime picking will help build your flatpicking technique and allow you to play blazing bluegrass instrumentals. As Steve puts it, "once you’ve got the mechanics of your right hand down, it doesn’t care what your left hand is doing." Then it’s up to you to "oil the machinery" by practicing, burning tunes and licks into muscle memory so you don’t have to think about them. Finally, you’ll combine all the elements in a show-stopping display of chord runs and picking combinations on the Don Reno classic "Little Rock Getaway." This lesson will help all aspiring flatpickers develop their potential and keep up with others in hot jam sessions and performances.
