Trust in Homespun!

"As someone who is a Level 2, pushing into Level 3 player, I appreciate Mary Flower's Crash Course in Open tunings. I have been diving into playing with a slide, something I decided to tackle after finishing up Happy Traum's 3 DVD set on fingerpicking guitar. Open Tunings are simple to play in, and Mary covers them in a broad spectrum. She is a gifted player and teacher. With some chords only needing one finger, it becomes a lot of fun (with some memorization) to add in the glass slide (or metal, if you please) and this DVD is a good basic course to move onto other such DVDs as Artie Traum's DADGAD series, and into Bottleneck blues playing. This is an essential DVD in building a strong foundation for Open tunings.

As I advance from here, my hope is to, when my foundation is strong, to move into Celtic fingerstyle. Open tunings is essential for Irish guitar playing. Mary's DVD is a solid part of my foundation. many thanks to Homespun for another 5 star release."
