There is more to using a flatpick than just “strum-a-strum-strum”. In this class we’ll discuss using the guitar to accompany vocals, play solo arrangements, or pick fiddle tunes in a bluegrass jam. Starting with basic foundational techniques, we may explore the subtleties of syncopation and crosspicking, look at improvisational mechanisms both for melody and rhythm guitar, and talk about the details which make your playing sound more musical.
