Description: Learn to Play Fingerstyle Guitar with this 2hr 20min DVD More and more intermediate guitar players are becoming interested in the classic "Travis Picking" finger-style or pick-and-fingers guitar style popularized by the great Merle Travis, and further developed by players like Chet Atkins, Brian Setzer, and Tommy Emmanuel (among others). It is, however, a tricky style! This DVD takes you through everything you need to get this style under your fingers, and provides lots of musical examples for you to learn, practice, and perform, including "Cocaine Blues", "Nine Pound Hammer", and "Cannonball Rag". The actual DVD video is HIGH DEFINITION (youtube compromises the quality quite a bit). Here's a few words about the DVD: Learn to Play Fingerstyle and Travis Picking DVD Guitar Lessons - YouTube Video will open in a new window - and here's a sample of one of the pieces you'll learn on the DVD: Cocaine Blues - Fingerstyle/Travis Picking DVD Lesson Preview - YouTube Video will open in a new window Please, see our feedback here on Ebay - our lessons have helped thousands of guitarists improve their playing. Our guitar methods are not only professional and loaded with great information and examples, but have an easy to learn, conversational edge, not stiff and analytical. Two cameras are used throughout to give you a clear view of both the left and right hand. Difficult passages are thoroughly explained! ****Q: "Is this for me? What do I need to know to learn this style?"**** ****A: You'll need to know your basic chords to get something out of these lessons! You should also have an understanding of rhythm and have played for at least a few months to have built up some dexterity on the guitar.

No dry, technical B.S. - Important picking patterns, and how they are used to build up a fingerpicking "vocabulary" - Example etudes and pieces to demonstrate playing 8th note upbeats while maintaining a steady bass line (key to this style) - Creating rhythmic variations to create your own versions of the example pieces - Understanding the chord progressions and which melody notes apply - Adding single note runs with open strings for some extra "flash" in your playing ;-) - Turnarounds for each piece, and how to embellish and alter them - A complete understanding of each example piece, section by section, with chapter markers for each (easy start-and-stop as you work through the DVD) - Performances of each example piece so you have a clear goal to aim for!
