These tapes lead you to "...a thorough understanding of the instrument, basic right and left hand positions, simple chords, and fundamental clawhammer techniques: the brush, the 'bumm-titty' strum, pull-offs, slides, and more. Then...the author eases you into double thumbing, quick slides, fretted pull-offs, harmonics, improvisation, and the other important tools of the trade."
