Country Blues for Fingerstyle Guitar

This 66-page book presents instruction in playing techniques similar to those of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Mississippi John Hurt. The work is based on Eddie's own personal style with the arrangements being presented in tablature form. Most songs are first presented in a basic version, before adding embellishments and more difficult right-hand techniques. The accompanying CD demonstrates all of the tunes and breaks down many difficult phrases.
