An Intro to Norman Blake's Style*
Norman Blake is the Earl Scruggs of solo flatpicking—the guy who
split the stylistic atom and was able to communicate simple melodies in driving and syncopated new ways. Using the tune
Buffalo Gals, we'll look at how some cool left-hand positions, some bursts of crosspicking and the use of select mid-solo strums can set us squarely on the road to Blakeville.

* featuring a new tune for 2010
