Downhome Flatpicking Guitar – Jody Stecher
This lesson is a roadmap of Jody Stecher’s development as a flatpicking guitarist and a guide to how any flatpicker can expand their expressive technique and create their own personal style.
“Jody Stecher is a total musician with a sense for musical nuance which few of his peers can match. His repertoire is unbelievable.”
The Village Voice
Jody Stecher has long been America’s least generic flatpicker. From the teenage hotshot who won the 1966 World’s Champion Flatpicking Cup at Union Grove North Carolina to the mature and reflective artist who was twice Grammy nominated in the 1990s, Jody has always played his own style. Here he presents the technical nuts and bolts for you to make your own personal style.
This DVD is both a roadmap of Jody’s development as a flatpicking guitarist of mostly American vernacular music, and a guide to how any flatpicker can expand their expressive technique. Think of it as “Flatpicking According to Jody”.
It’s a graded course starting with basics in which the technical relationship between fingerpicking and flatpicking is made clear. The first few pieces are great songs with memorable melodies but minimal fingering so that right hand fundamentals can be mastered. With each new tune more techniques are introduced and more and more fingerboard is used, both horizontally and vertically. The second half of the DVD is purely instrumental music and the tunes are more complex.
