  • Great teacher and great player! And by all appearances a very nice man, too. Sad to hear about the passing of his brother. I've just begun working through HT's "Easy Steps to Guitar Fingerpicking: Demystifying Alternate Thumb Style." It is as advertised. It's nice to be able to support a business that is so obvioiusly motivated by love of the music.

  • He played banjo and guitar on Dylan's 1973 recordings of You Aint Going Nowhere, Down in the Flood, Quinn the Eskimo AND perhaps on a few unreleased gems that we may, one day, see.

    Happy Traum is an excellent musician, singer, and teacher in his own right. From iTunes, I have purchased every song by him, and his brother Artie. Anyone catch last summer's live performance here on YouTube? He is a gem!

  • OMG.....Free guitar lessons from THE Happy Traum!?!?!?!? This guy has been a legend to me since I can remember.

  • my mom was college room mates with his daughter, i just met him today great guy!

  • Thank you, this is what I needed

  • I've got that dvd you mention coming in the mail...hopefully tomorrow! You liked it, huh?

    Can you describe it?

    I bought Happy's "easy FP Favorites" and it was a little too much for me...I'll come back to it after "De-Mystifying.."

  • Thom Bresh shows the Real Merle Travis power thumb. Sounds like a freight train!!!!

  • Happy is a Young Man in this one. You are all very correct. Happy is a Great Player and Teacher. I have learned more from his Videos that any other way. He is very good with the 12 string too. I also like Stefan Grossman

  • By far the BEST guitar instructor out there.
