Travis picking revolutionized fingerstyle guitar playing in the 20th century and frailing stands poised to do the same in the 21st. This simple technique creates a driving groove reminiscent of Appalachian banjo playing. Frailing can serve as singer-songwriter accompaniment as well as it does in rendering fingerstyle blues or oldtime fiddle tunes. Note/tab, for intermediate to advanced guitarists. Includes CD, 32 pp. More Details...
