DVD Two-On this fascinating DVD Norman Blake shows you up close the elements that make his guitar playing singularly beautiful and unique. Expanding on the basics he covered in his first Homespun lesson he teaches ten original and traditional songs and instrumentals selected from his vast repertoire each one featuring his trademark flatpick-and-fingers style. To this he adds crosspicking drones string-hopping ornaments bass lines slides and other means of making a solid instrumental statement. Norman demonstrates his powerful back-up technique and discusses 'how to do teh most with the least' which he brings to bear on these masterful arrangements. As a bonus you'llhear about Norman's preference for 12-fret short scale guitars (he plays a 1934 Martin 00-40H on this DVD) andd ideas about practicing adding syncopation to get 'those notes between notes' and many other insihgts into flatpick style.
