Steve James, one of today's leading roots-music performers, recording artists, and teachers, presents a treasure trove of traditional American guitar styles in this unique video series. Guitarists will learn fingerpicking and slide techniques not through dry exercises but by playing songs from James' own repertoire and from such masters as Furry Lewis, Blind Willie McTell, and Sam McGee. Drawing on his extensive research and first-hand experience with these guitar pioneers, James tells the stories behind the songs, too. Each download includes in-depth video instruction, along with notation and tab from Steve’s best-selling book, Roots and Blues Fingerstyle Guitar.
