Learn the fingerstyle used by players such as Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs. The techniques described are similar to those of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Mississippi John Hurt.

Some of the topics included are: playing in standard and open tunings, moving bass lines, developing syncopation, and creating your own arrangements. In addition to country blues standards, such as "Freight Train" and "Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor," bluegrass fans will appreciate the arrangements of songs commonly played in flatpick guitar style, such as "Beaumont Rag" and "Sitting On Top Of The World."
