| This comprehensive guide is subtitled "What the tab won't tell you." Orrin Star teaches you the fundamentals of flatpicking in great detail, focusing on technique and articulation. His explanation of right-hand technique will help you overcome the common hurdles new flatpickers encounter. Orrin's presentation on left-hand technique will also help you smooth out your playing by "squeezing the juice" out of every note. This is not only a very effective DVD, it is highly entertaining.
