Happy Traum's Guitar Building Blocks: Creating Folksong Arrangements
The beauty of the guitar is not necessarily
based on advanced and highly technical playing skills. Interesting and unusual arrangements can be created with very simple ideas, as long as you have some knowledge and an elementary
understanding of the guitar. On this video lesson, Happy takes some easy songs and shows you how to transform them into beautiful show pieces using interesting
right-hand patterns, altered chords and chord substitutions, ornamentation, harmonized scales and other very basic
but useful techniques. You'll be amazed at what you'll be able to do with the simplest folk songs.

Roger McGuinn's Basic Folk Guitar
Roger McGuinn brings his love of folk guitar to novice and
intermediate players, providing a solid repertoire of classic songs as well as the basic techniques needed to play them. Putting his trademark 12-string guitar aside, he uses a six
-string acoustic to show you the chord progressions, bass runs, and special licks that make his arrangements distinctive. You’ll
be able to use either standard fingerpicking or Roger’s flatpick-and-fingers approach to make these songs come to life.
