Techniques, Arrangements, and Improvisation Kelly plays with his guitar flat on his lap, Dobro style.Using his bar and alternate-thumb fingerpicking, he creates an unusually free, improvisational style that amazes listeners and defies easy categorization. Kelly is a patient and articulate instructor, providing numerous insights into his musical craft. On this video, he gives detailed instruction in bar technique, string muting, use of a capo, fingerpicking style, and how to find scale and chord patterns in open D tuning. His exploration of improvised solos, using a combination of open and barred strings, will help you create expressive melody lines and evocative harmonies, and turn your songs into vehicles through which you can express you own ideas and emotions.
