Homespun

Adam Traum has created a set of basic ukulele lessons taught from a guitar player’s perspective. Video 1 shows how to take first position guitar chord knowledge and immediately apply it to the ukulele. Video 2 moves to more advanced techniques: closed position chords, licks and picking hand ideas for more complex songs. 

In his first lesson for Homespun, the excellent German fingerstyle blues artist Rainer Brunn teaches five classic numbers that will bolster your repertoire and expand your arsenal of licks. Rainer brings his formidable chops to this carefully organized and articulately-taught video. 

Here's a perfect lesson on using dropped D tuning, a beautiful and versatile way to play songs and instrumentals on your guitar. Happy Traum shows you harmony-filled tunes in the keys of D, G and A while building your basic fingerstyle technique and increasing your musical skills.

On this enthralling, user-friendly lesson, the great fingerpicking blues artist Mary Flower gives early/intermediate guitarists the tools for developing easy but effective solos in the key of A. She teaches a variety of interchangeable parts, so you and another player can trade licks, or you can simply use them yourself in an improvised solo.
