In this extraordinary DVD lesson, which is filled with spectacular picking, detailed instruction and invaluable advice for aspiring bluegrass guitarists at all levels. Bryan Sutton thoughtfully and methodically lays out his "tricks of the trade" to help you play any tune and improve your flatpicking speed, power, timing and musicianship.

Bryan addresses many of the problems that he sees in aspiring pickers, and passes along tips on how to keep your picking hand and arm tension-free and your fretting hand supple and quick. He provides drills and exercises, teaching an arsenal of licks, bends, double stops, slides and other devices that will help you build powerful and memorable solos.

In a special section on rhythm playing, Bryan plays backup to Cody Kilby's lead solos and shows how, by varying his chords and bass runs, he builds a groove and enhances the tune. He breaks down, in detail, famous bluegrass jam session tunes - Daley's Reel, Texas Gales, Wild Bill Jones and Beaumont Rag - each of which shows a different aspect of the flatpick experience.

Just remember, you have to learn play something slow, and in time before playing it fast. Stick with it measure by measure and you will get it over time. Thanks for watching these video clips.

I do agree with musicprodave, I found him to contradict himself, all very well saying he likes a clear melody then when he plays the melody he changes it every time, great player, bad teacher

[musicprodave]

This guy is a monster guitar player...wow... great...but...you can't teach like that. Very bad teacher at least in this vid. Love to watch him play though.
