You FGM subscribers may remember that back in the "Pioneers" issue of
Flatpicking Guitar Magazine I laid out a step-by-step flatpicking learning method that followed the chronological development of the style. This method started with a solid foundation in the rhythm guitar styles of flatpicking's early pioneers--a style that includes a liberal use of bass runs and rhythm fill licks, combined with rhythmic strums.
I have just released Volume 1 of the Eight Volume

Hi All:
I've got two big tours coming up - to Texas in January, and then driving to Florida and back from my

and teach during my travels. (Itinerary for both trips as they now stand is below.)
If any of you might be interested in hosting a workshop or house concert or such let me know.
Hope to see you at…

Greg Morton has been a star on the bluegrass and jazz guitar scenes since the 70s. He and his twin brother, Randal, are hands down my favorite players, both for the immense talents they've so fully developed, and for their kind and generous natures.
Back in September 2004 Greg recorded a CD in three evenings sitting at his kitchen table. Solo Guitar is as fine a display of musicality by a guitarist as you're likely to find. Lots of standards and most recorded with just a rhythm…

I have posted pics on my new website ] still under…

Ciao Everyone!
I celebrate my 10-year musical journey with a brand new album
Unknown Legends.
Raised in a Catholic family, as a kid I was taught that life is a gift - God's greatest gift. I have always admired those who work quietly to make the world a better place: people who dedicate their time, sometimes their entire lives, building bridges of love. These songs celebrate these unknown legends. It is my secret desire to…

First time I saw it was through the window of Jim’s shop. I was up in Goshen for one of the first of what has now become 5 years of old-timey jams held in the farmer’s market of Goshen.
The guitar hung on a rack between several others – most of those others being repairs that Jim was working on. It didn’t have a pickguard back then, and I mistakenly assumed that it was a Larrivee (Larrivee’s had clear pickguards back…

Hi fellow flatpickers, Steve Kilby here with my first blog post. I've been posting on Flatpick-L for a number of years now. Just wanted to let everyone here know about my Tune of the Month program. The details are on my website www.kilbymusic.com and we are right now having a Christmas sale on past volumes of Tune of the Month. Hope to be involved in some flatpicking blogs here and make many new friends. Steve Kilby
