Fingerpicking Made Easy (3 CDs + Book) – Happy Traum
Happy Traum has devised a course that will allow you to start fingerpicking folk, blues and country songs almost immediately by using pre-set “picking patterns” that you can learn by rote.
This foolproof method in the use of right-hand patterns for both song accompaniment and solo melody playing gives you a thorough introduction to basic fingerpicking techniques, and shows you how you can immediately apply them to a number of great songs.
In addition to learning this wonderful guitar style, your playing will be improved with increased left- and right-hand coordination, the use of bass runs and harmony lines, and other techniques that will add new dimensions to your music. Best of all, once you have these patterns mastered you’ll be able to go on to learn more advanced fingerpicking styles of players such as Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, and many others.
This three-CD series can be used by anyone who knows the basic chords, even if you have never played this way before.
