EASY STEPS TO GUITAR FINGERPICKING
DVD 2: Songs in Dropped D Tuning DVD 3: Graduating into Classic Repertoire

In response to numerous requests, Happy Traum has taken his “Easy Steps” course to the next level, adding songs and techniques that will bring your playing firmly into intermediate territory. You'll learn how to play in the versatile and useful “dropped D” tuning, with its rich, booming bass notes and easy chord shapes. Five classic songs are taught, each one rich with possibilities for creating exciting arrangements: The Colorado Trail • My Home's Across the Smoky Mountains • Fishin' Blues • The Blues Ain't Nothin' • John Henry. Back in standard tuning, you're introduced to the songs and styles of Merle Travis, Doc Watson, John Hurt and other masters of traditional fingerpicking. You'll learn to move freely around the fingerboard and will be playing licks, slides, hammer-ons and bass runs while maintaining the steady thumb rhythm that gives this style its ear-catching appeal. By the time you've completed this course, you'll be picking: I Am a Pilgrim • Deep River Blues • Louis Collins • Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out • Step It Up and Go. 2-DVD SET • INCLUDES MUSIC + TAB • LEVEL 3
