The ringing strings and open voicings of DADGAD produce an ethereal, almost magical sound. In Al Petteway's masterful hands Southern Mountain songs and instrumentals are brought to life with fresh new harmonies and inventive fingerpicking. You'll learn blues/fingerpicking favorites inspired by Doc Watson, Etta Baker and Merle Travis; haunting melodies of ancient Sacred Harp shape-note hymns; hard-driving banjo tunes; and how to imitate Scots/Irish bagpipe and fiddle sounds. Intermediate. Includes note/tab booklet as PDF file. 90 min.
