This DVD is a boon to all players who want to explore country flatpicking and the smooth, uncluttered Norman Blake guitar style. In his clear and concise way, Norman covers the basics of his technique so that even near-beginners will gain the important skills necessary to play in this style.
You'll learn alternating strokes, rolls, crosspicking, single string/rhythm chord combinations and other aspects of his right-hand style, plus slides, pull-offs, hammer-ons, chord positions and melody notes. Nancy's back-up technique is highlighted, and Norman gives tips on use of the capo, open strings and special tunings.

Songs include:
Whiskey Before Breakfast
Gray Coat Soldiers
Prettiest Little Girl In The Country
The Wreck Of The Old '97
Ginseng Sullivan
Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine
