One of my all time favorite jam tunes! I teach this one note for note and explain the techniques that make this one a must learn part of your repertoire.

One of my favorite tunes to play at the National Flat Picking championship contest.

Great chord progression along with a memorable melody make this a tune fun and full of surprises.

This tune is a timeless classic that continues to be requested at most jams.

Another classic fiddle tune that I've been picking for a long time. It's a bouncy number with a tasty variation on the second round. A detailed study of this superb melody.

A great introduction to playing up the neck with this classic!

The framework solo is similar to the melody the singer would sing.

Part B of the flat picking standard Salt Creek. It continues to be a favorite played at most jams.

Part A of the flat picking standard Salt Creek. It continues to be a favorite played at most jams.

In this lesson we learn one of the prettiest melodies ever written. We will study round one (A and B parts) of this arrangement. Overlapping tones makes this tune challenging and fun to learn.

I teach the basic melody to this great tune.

I have a special place in my heart for this tune. It was the first tune I learned how to connect the eighth notes to make my playing sound authentic.  This is a bouncy fiddle tune that has plenty of embellishments. The B part is especially challenging because of the long string of eighth notes.
