Homespun

This may be one of the best lessons we have ever produced for acoustic guitar! The late Artie Traum accompanied dozens of top performers in his long professional career, including many well-known singer/songwriters, and on this unique video he shows you how he used his skills to highlight and enhance any song. 

Guitarist Adam Traum casually picked up the mandolin to bring to jam sessions, since there are usually more than enough guitars to go around. From that start he gained a love and respect for the mandolin’s widely expressive range, and he explores the instrument here from a guitar player’s perspective. 

This terrific lesson in fingerstyle blues guitar features blues great Rory Block breaking down her award-winning strumming, pounding and fingerstyle blues techniques. She transmits the power of Delta blues with clarity, deep respect for the original artists and an obvious love of her material.

Steve Kaufman, Homespun’s most prolific and popular flatpick guitar instructor, brings his masterful skills to an engaging and user-friendly collection of twelve “bluesy” bluegrass standards that will serve any intermediate-level picker well in a jam, practice session or performance.
