Now On CD |
You'll find fingerpicking classics (by such greats as Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Paul Yandell, Steve Wariner, and others), original instrumentals and arrangements, and sacred favorites. You'll also learn licks, runs, intros, endings, finger patterns, and special techniques that you can use in your own music. Each issue comes with a CD, so you can hear the music you're learning. I record each tune at performance tempo, and then slow it down to take you through those tricky moves. All musical examples are also recorded and discussed on the CD. A one year subscription (4 issues) to AGW is only $68 (that's about what you'd pay for just one month of private instruction).
Please make your check or money order for US $68 payable to: Craig Dobbins'
Acoustic Guitar Workshop Foreign subscribers: Canada//Mexico please add US $6. Other countries please add US $12. Payable in US funds/drawn on US bank or international money order (payable to US bank). The following back issues of AGW are available for $17 each (postage and handling
included). Canada//Mexico US $18 each. Other
countries: US $20 each. |
