Flatpicking Fiddle Tunes - Reels Rags & Hoedowns

taught by Eric Thompson

Old-time fiddle tunes are the bedrock upon which acoustic guitar flatpicking is built. Eric Thompson's strong, melodic picking has set a benchmark for taste and tone for nearly four decades. In this video Eric shares soulful arrangements of seven of his favorites, guiding you slowly, line-by-line through classics like Texas Gals, Fish In The Millpond, Scotish-Irish rooted Miller's Reel and Stony Point, mountain modal Falls of Richmond, swingin' Kennedy Rag and the bouncy East Tennessee Blues. You'll build your repertoire and hone your technique, exploring fingering patterns in six different keys which are all clearly illustrated in split-screen close-ups.

A detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as PDF file on the DVD.
