Roberto Dalla Vecchia: Flatpicking Guitar Language: English Media: Audio on line Pages: 72 This book is made up of the fundamentals for beginner flatpicking guitar. I have been experimenting teaching in different ways for over 20 years, and in this book you will find the program I now use with my students who are looking to get into this style. Throughout the years, I have greatly changed the contents of this book to suit who I can only guess will be the readers. I have spent a lot of time arran- ging the tunes so as to match the skill level of the drills, exercises, and theory. I have tried hard to include all of the fundamental elements that you will need to begin flatpicking. The book starts with back up guitar. You will learn to alternate your bass notes properly, play a good smooth rhythm, and more. You can then put your rhythm to the test with some classic Carter Style arrangements. For the lar- gest section of the book, I have chosen and arranged 10 of the most common and loved fiddle tunes out there. You’ll also find the most common fingerings for the keys of G, C, and D. Last but not least, I’ve included a section with exercises for both the right and the left hand. The practice of these will lead to fast, clean, and powerful flatpicking. The contents throughout this book do not get harder to follow as you go along, and it is not meant to be used in any strict order. You are encouraged to begin each section before necessarily finishing any of them. They are all equally important, and to master one before acknowledging the others will be repetitive and possibly lead to uneven musicianship. On the other hand, try to make sure to get something or other polished out of a section before flipping to the next.
