DVD - Learn to Play Blues Guitar with a Flatpick, Vol. 1

Using a flatpick on a steel-string acoustic guitar gives you a big sound and the ability to play punchy rhythms and lightning-fast lead lines. In this DVD, Adam teaches right-hand technique as well as bluesy chords, scales, licks and progressions. He starts you off with a basic shuffle rhythm in E, gradually introducing bass runs, chord shapes, string bends, turnarounds and other elements. You'll learn pick techniques such as palm muting, raking and pick-and-two-finger "hybrid" picking. Adam even provides play-along sections for a great practice session. Acoustic blues guitar isn't just for fingerpickers anymore! Early-intermediate. Note/tab booklet included as a PDF file on the disc. 110 min.
