Eric Thompson teaches the exciting art of crosspicking, which is an exhilarating flatpicking technique that is an essential part of every bluegrass guitarist’s arsenal. Utilizing repeated patterns on three-string groups, crosspicking captures the bounce of a fiddler’s double shuffle and the drive of three-finger banjo Scruggs-style rolls. Eric instructs you on three full hours of note-by-note, phrase-by-phrase instruction contained on the three companion CDs. The 32-page book contains 12 songs taught in three easy to understand lessons. Eric will help you hone your crosspicking technique in no time ‘flat’!

THOMPSON, Eric

Virtually every country blues recording made prior to World War II that has been recovered by the collectors is commercially available. No one could have anticipated how much of the recorded legacy of country blues would become available to be heard. It really is a treasure trove of musical history, and in listening to the incredible breadth and variety in the country blues that this re-issuing movement has made possible, I stand in awe of the magnitude and scope of what the people who played in this style expressed in their music. There really is something for everyone in this music, whether you like your blues smooth and sophisticated or down and dirty. John Miller
