Fred Sokolow shows you the moveable chords and picking techniques you need to play Merle Travis-style solos all over the fretboard... playing the melody on the treble strings while keeping that relentless alternating thumb/bass going. Besides learning some great fingerpicking solos, you'll learn lots of fretboard theory along the way.

Each song is played and sung, then slowed down with a split screen so you can see what each hand is doing. You'll learn to play solos for

I Am A Pilgrim

Chilly Winds

Who’s Sorry Now

Careless Love

Whispering

Sheik Of Araby

St. James Infirmary Blues

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Poor Butterfly

A PDF book has all the arrangements written out in tab, music and chord grids. There's a song sheet for each tune, with lyrics and chords, so you can sing and play the songs, in addition to playing instrumental solos. Hey! You paid for that upper part of the fretboard, might as well start using it!
