Crosspicking: The Forward Backward Roll.

Sheet music and tabs at www.joseptraver.com. Here's some information about my bluegrass book:
"La guitarra acústica bluegrass" is the first book to be published in Spanish on bluegrass guitar. It is suitable for beginners, as well as for advanced players who want to deepen their knowledge of acoustic folk guitar in general and the bluegrass style in particular.

It covers different aspects of bluegrass guitar: general characteristics, repertoire, accompaniment, chord inversions, harmonic substitutions, improvising, scales, arpeggios, and techniques such as flatpicking, crosspicking, and Carter family style. The text is divided into nineteen parts of progressive difficulty, so that the sections of most interest to the reader can be treated as independent units.

Format: 74 pages and a CD with 99 audio tracks of all examples. All the exercises are shown in standard notation as well as in tablature.

[TyedSoul]

Thanks! Learned all three in less than half an hour but I'll probably use 'em the rest of my life!

[stringcordeta]

@TyedSoul I'm happy to know that, good! enjoy picking!

[mandoist]

Nice variations...but for beginner students, go to the George Shuffler videos on YouTube. He invented the style, and that original basic roll is not here.

[stringcordeta]

@mandoist I know the basic rolls are the forward roll and the backward roll, would you explain us what it means, or how works the "original" that you said please? thanks

[pfcernie]

Are you going to put the forward roll back these are very helpful..thanks

[stringcordeta]

I'll post the forward roll soon, next week I hope...Thanks for your comment, keep picking!!

interesting!!! 

[Shadowtjestalker]

Oh my gosh, alternate picking and string skipping combined! Really the technique isn't that hard. I've been doing it for quite awhile, completely unaware of the fact that it actually had a name.
