Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great DVD to simply learn the songs. Happy Traum is a natural teacher who moves slowly, anticipates the difficult parts, encourages you to pause the DVD and practice, and brings you along to learning some great fingerpicking favorites.He is a master player and a patient teacher.Homespun's production is clear, up close, and uses two cameras to help you see clearly the right and left hand.This DVD is a lot of fun and I use it as part of a "course" of learning to fingerpick.See other titles by Traum, especially "Easy Steps to Guitar Fingerpicking" Volumes 1 and 2.Here also, he takes the student on a journey, and skillfully works like a builder, setting a good foundation, and then putting one stone upon another. But along the journey, you find you learn songs, which is encouraging, only to learn later, how much fun it is to take those songs you've learned, and begin to "dress them up" with some of Happy's tricks of the trade.Another great DVD from Homsepun.

Product Description:
Learn to play five easy songs that should be in every fingerpicker's repertoire: "Railroad Bill," "My Creole Belle," "Cocaine Blues," "Freight Train," "Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor."
Happy plays each tune in its simplest form, then moves the appropriate notes off the beat (while the bass maintains its steady, on-the-beat rhythm) so you can clearly understand where the syncopated notes go. Finally, you'll add important techniques-hammer-ons, pull-offs, bass runs, jump notes, walk-ups, turnarounds-to make all your playing come alive. You'll soon be ready to create your own arrangements to any fingerpicking tune!
