Steve Kaufman - Learning to Flatpick (3 DVD set)

Steve Kaufman - Learning to Flatpick (3 DVD set) Steve Kaufman’s comprehensive three-DVD course in bluegrass flatpicking takes you from “Picking 101” through advanced techniques that will enable you to hold your own in any band or jam session. On DVD#1, From the Beginning, you'll learn a variety of essential flatpicking skills: proper pick grip, down-up strokes, rhythmic strumming and song accompaniment. Only a few minutes into the first lesson you'll be starting to pick easy versions of well-known fiddle tunes.
By DVD#2, Building Bluegrass Technique, you'll have built a "runs vocabulary" and learned to crosspick, move up the neck, play bass runs and construct hot bluegrass solos.
DVD#3, Developing Speed and Style, covers the finer points of style, using slides, arpeggios, bends, accents, intros and endings, and that most challenging of subjects, building up speed.
A patient and encouraging instructor, Steve pushes you forward while allowing you to advance at your own pace. He helps you develop a solid repertoire of classic tunes, including:
