Truefire Bryan Sutton's Wide Open Flatpicking TUTORiAL

Interactive Video Masterclass for Flatpicking Guitarists
Flatpickers love the 'wide open' expressive freedom they enjoy when jamming on bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes. The characteristic fast-paced rhythms, intricate melodies, and numerous opportunities for improvisation make an ideal landscape for creative expression.

Bryan Sutton cherry-picked ten classic songs to serve as the framework for his interactive “Wide Open Flatpicking” course.

East Tennessee Blues, Squirrel Hunters, Bill Cheatham, Whiskey Before Breakfast, Midnight On The Water, Blackberry Blossom, Forked Deer, Salt Creek, The Storms Are On The Ocean and Big Sciota.

”I chose these ten songs because they are distinctive, allowing me to show you a more comprehensive range of creative techniques for improvising when playing rhythm and taking solos.
To authentically demonstrate the techniques, I improvised all of my performances in the course. This is me, not overthinking, not redoing, taking risks, and going for it.

When you've got a grip on the techniques and creative approaches, put it all in play with my Wide Open Flatpicking edition of In The Jam.”

You'll have TrueFire's interactive learning tools at your fingertips to customize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

The demonstrations and performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video lessons with controls for looping, slow motion, fretboard animation, and other tools designed to accelerate your progress.
