STEVE KAUFMAN
Guitar Tuition DVDs (x3DVDs)

Steve Kaufman’s comprehensive three-DVD course in bluegrass flatpicking takes you from “Picking 101” through advanced techniques that will enable you to hold your own in any band or jam session.
On DVD #1, "From the Beginning," you’ll learn a variety of essential flatpicking skills: proper pick grip, down-up strokes, rhythmic strumming and song accompaniment. Only a few minutes into the first lesson you’ll be starting to pick easy versions of well-known fiddle tunes.
By DVD #2, " Building Bluegrass Technique," you’ll have built a “runs vocabulary” and learned to cross pick, move up the neck, play bass runs and construct hot bluegrass solos.
DVD #3, "Developing Speed and Style," covers the finer points of style, using slides, arpeggios, bends, accents, intros and endings, and that most challenging of subjects, building up speed.
A patient and encouraging instructor, Steve pushes you forward while allowing you to advance at your own pace. He helps you develop a solid repertoire of classic tunes, including:-
- Liberty
- Salt Creek
- Blackberry Blossom
- Ragtime Annie
- Clarinet Polka
- Home Sweet Home
- Cripple Creek
- Hand Me Down My Walking Cane
- Wildwood Flower
