Flatpicking Essentials, Volume 1: Rhythm, Bass Runs & Fill Licks
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.

Great FGM DVD-Kilby, Davis and May

I recently bought a DVD produced by Flatpicking Guitar Magazine called "Live In Kansas City-Cody Kilby, Brad Davis and Tim May.
