BEGINNER GUITAR: An Introduction to Flatpicking

www.creativeguitarstudio.com SearchAndrew Wasson.com for FREE lesson Handouts. This Video: September 20, 2011 | Search Videos by Title/Date. GO TO: www.andrewwasson.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question... Q: I'm 45 years old and back into guitar once again after being away from it for 20 years. My picking is sloppy and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve the flat-picking that I am so lacking in. I really enjoy old time Bluegrass, but wonder if this style isn't too difficult for me at this period of my re-introduction to the guitar. What would you suggest for me? Your YouTube channel is excellent -- thanks for everything so far! Lewis -- Kissimmee, FL. USA A: Folk, Bluegrass and Blues styles are actually some of the best music styles to look into for Beginner level players, or even enthusiastic Intermediate guitar players. The Bluegrass flat picking approach can be technically challenging, it can also be a lot of fun to slow-down and use for simple exercise workouts. As well, it can most certainly help new and returning players to improve their performance skills with some very melodic picking technique studies. The complete lesson article for this video will be available on the Creative Guitar Studio website shortly.

Guitar Technique: Guitar Picking Tutorial

The response from Andrew Wasson , of Creative Guitar Studio, to: "I have a question that got me struggling for days... I didn't find a lot of information about flat picking online. Is there a good or correct way to pick when playing single notes? My pinky and my middle-finger are always resting on the guitar... Is this a bad habit? Ive seen a lot of players have their hand resting on the bridge or at least near the bridge... Thanks in Advance! - Julien1345 Watch as the best guitar teacher on YouTube - Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio - covers the concepts of how guitar players can develop the ability to pick with their right hand or left hand - if you're a lefty - and achieve higher accuracy and better faster picking technique overall.

Flatpicking -- G Major Scales

Get started with the flatpick... simple G major scale for six string, standard tuning. The guitar is my 1985 Santa Cruz Tony Rice signature, Brazilian. I have it strung with regular Martin lights because I like the sound and they're cheap. All I recommend is a heavy pick and a reasonably good sounding guitar to get you going.

Flatpicking Guitar Comparison

No real songs, just some flatpicking and strumming to compare tone and volume on the following guitars: *Recording King RD127-Indian Rosewood back/sides, Sitka Spruce top. Bone Nut/Saddle, Ebony Bridge Pins *Martin D18GE-Mahogany back/sides, Adirondack Spruce top, Bone nut, Ivory Saddle, bone bridge pins. *Martin D28 GE Custom-Brazilian Rosewood back/sides, Adirondack Spruce top, fossilized ivory nut/saddle/bridge pins. -Martin SP4200 medium gage phosphor bronze strings (all 2-3 weeks old) -Blue Chip medium gage pick They all sound pretty good to my ear, but get better in the order I played here. The Brazilian 28 has something the others just don't have. Plenty of mistakes. Not easy for me to switch from the narrow string spacing on the Recording King to the Golden Era spacing without a minute or 2 to adjust. Thanks to the very capable 8 yr old sound man, Lance.

Basic Country Flatpicking Guitar

www.qleap.co.uk Pioneered in the 1920s by the great Mother Maybelle Carter, this combination of lead and rhythm guitar playing is the foundation upon which all traditional country, folk, bluegrass, and hot flatpicking guitar is based. Dix Bruce carefully teaches lead and backup guitar to nine great and classic country, bluegrass, and folk standards, ballads and hot breakdowns played by musicians the world over. Dix demonstrates the basic "bass note / strum" technique and shows how melodies can be easily integrated into known chord patterns. You'll first learn leads on the country classics Worried Man Blues, Lonesome Valley, Storms are on the Ocean and Handsome Molly in a variety of different keys. You'll also learn the all-time guitar hit Wildwood Flower and how to transpose it from the key of G to the key of C. Dix also demonstrates more complex leads on Redwing, John Hardy, Jimmie Brown the Newsboy and more on the invaluable skill of transposing a song from one key to another. The instruction in this DVD will prepare you to play flatpicked leads in virtually any country, folk, and bluegrass ensemble.

Bluegrass Flatpicking Guitar Lesson with Brandon Davis (Henderson D-18)

Length: 12:31 Lesson Description: This lesson is taught in the context of the classic fiddle tune Cuckoos Nest but nearly all of Brandons ideas can be applied to any tune you choose. There are enough great ideas and tips here to keep you busy for weeks. Included topics: Basic melody for A Section, Open string licks, Celtic influence, pull-offs/hammer-ons, Proper downstroke technique, pick control, Basic melody for B Section, Major 9 chords and inversions, More open string licks, Using dissonance in constructing melodies, Movable major scales. -------------------------------------------------------------- We are thrilled to have Brandon Davis on board as an instructor here at Virtualwoodshed.com. Brandon was born in Galax, Virginia, home of the oldest Fiddlers Convention in the world. At an early age, the Davis family exposed Brandon to lots of music and by age 10 he was learning guitar from his Dad. Brandon started competing in local contests and fiddlers conventions allowing him the chance to perform with master musicians and sharpen his skills. In 1997 Davis competed and won the prestigious Wayne Henderson guitar championship earning him a Henderson guitar. In March of 2005 Brandon won another Henderson guitar by taking top honors at the South Carolina State Guitar Championship in Hartsville, SC. He has since won the Doc Watson guitar competition at Merlefest and has placed in the top three at the National Guitar Championship in Winfield KS on numerous occasions.

Serve somebody on an Avalon L32

Deliberately hard flatpicking, to show it can handle brutal hard flat picking without much compression, as well as the bare fingers picking in the other vid I did with it. This guitar has more dynamics and headroom than any I've had before (and that's a fairly nice selction). Excuse my sh*t vocals...I have had bronchitis for about a month....excuses,excuses.....
