A Basic Guide To Style, Technique and Practice
This complete two-DVD course gives you all the "basic training" you need to play authentic bluegrass fiddle. Near-beginners and experienced players alike will learn to use slurs, double-stops, slides, bowing patterns, blues scales and other essential techniques to create hot solos for any bluegrass song. You'll play them in a variety of keys, and even learn how to "fake" your way through a new song!
With this encyclopedic knowledge of bluegrass style and history, Stacy prepares you for realistic playing situations, showing you how the greats-Benny Martin, Kenny Baker, Chubby Wise, Jimmy Buchanan, Bobby Hicks and others-created their unique bluegrass fiddle sounds.
You'll soon be improvising solos to classic bluegrass songs-Why Did you Wander? Gonna Pain the Town, On My Way Back to the Old Home, Take This Hammer, Jimmy Brown and the Newsboys, Long Journey Home, All the Good Times and Salty Dog Blues.
