DVD Reviews of DVD-Figuring Out the Fingerboard-A Flatpicker's Guide To Improvising

DVD Review: Remember Cluck Old Hen and Cripple Creek? Use Them!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am primarily a fiddler by trade...and I should be, but was not, that familiar with Steve Kaufman. This DVD blew me away!!! I have a repertoire of over 500 fiddle tunes, and he believes this was the "key" to learning to play all over the fingerboard. Well, here he shows the METHOD to such madness, and it makes sense!!! He says that at "intermediate-advanced" guitar camps and seminars he'll find such players who typically know less than 10 fiddle tunes. He explains why learning fiddle tunes, NOT scales, is the key to playing like Steve, Doc Watson, and other great melody players (Blake, Rice, C. White come to mind)...

This will be the best $29.95 you spend, it is worth months if not years of lessons. I now can see my guitar picking (flatpicking) really picking up steam. Steve is encouraging, not in an overly folksy or put-on way, and his OM-42 (Collings) matches the sound of my OM-1 (probably Adirondack) like sequential serial-numbered guitars--so it is just fun to play along with Steve.

Buy it!!! If you aspire to playing above the 7th fret, this DVD is a must see and hear!!!

Description of DVD-Figuring Out the Fingerboard-A Flatpicker's Guide To Improvising

If you?ve ever wondered how the hot flatpickers improvise solos using the entire length of the guitar fingerboard, and wished you could take your own distinctive breaks in jam sessions or performances, then this DVD is for you!

Steve Kaufman has developed an amazing system that clears up the mystery and teaches you the notes, scales and chord shapes you?ll need to play fluidly and confidently anywhere on the neck. Anyone can learn Steve?s system. Starting by picking out well-known fiddle tunes in their simplest form, Steve shows you how to find the notes and develop a melodic sense. He then teaches you how to find movable chord forms in different positions on the fingerboard. Finally, you?ll learn the famous "CAGED" system, enabling you to understand and play scales and melodies in all positions up the neck.

Throughout this easy-to-use course, Steve imparts a wealth of practical wisdom, advice and encouragement. He provides you with all the tools you?ll need to develop a depth of knowledge and understanding of your guitar that will show itself in sparkling and creative solos.

The tunes that Steve uses to teach soloing around the fingerboard include Soldier's Joy, June Apple, Cluck Old Hen, Arkansas Traveler, Cripple Creek and Old Joe Clark.
