Demystifying Alternate Thumb Style Taught by: Happy Traum For many aspiring players, the ability to maintain a rock-steady rhythmic pulse with their thumb while picking out off-the-beat melody notes with their fingers represents a 'holy grail' of country, folk and blues playing. Drawing on four decades of teaching experience, Happy Traum has devised this nearly foolproof method to help them get off to a great start. The simple children's song "Skip to My Lou" helps teach the basic concepts before getting into fingerpicking standards such as: "Spike Driver's Blues", "Green, Green Rocky Road", "Staggerlee", "Nine Pound Hammer", "Hobo's Lullaby". 100 minutes, DVD
