Learn the essential techniques of bluegrass flatpicking guitar through classic and lesser-known songs and tunes, from bluegrass blues to old-time fiddle tunes to country swing sounds.

Home Sweet Home
 
In Part 2 of the lesson on crosspicking, you'll learn the first part of Scott's arrangement of "Home Sweet Home," which mostly uses the traditional 3-3-2 roll. Since crosspicking is usually used to play song melodies, it's a good idea to learn the melody of a song before tackling a crosspicking arrangement, so Scott starts by making sure you know the melody to "Home Sweet Home" and then takes the arrangement apart phrase by phrase (or roll by roll).

Diminished Arpeggios and Scales, Part 1: Arpeggios
 

Diminished arpeggios and scales are used in swing, bebop, and contemporary jazz. In this lesson, Scott shows you a couple of convenient positions on the top four strings that you can use to play diminished arpeggios and scales. In this video, he shows you the two diminished arpeggio positions and gives you examples of how diminished chords are used in swing and mainstream jazz, and how diminished arpeggios are used to play over 7b9 chords.
