I have been a chord /rhythm player for 50 years. I want to learn Flatpicking. Where / how do I start? Thanks
You could start with a good beginner flatpick instruction book and take it from page 1.
You could just start noodling around, trying to find melody notes to a song you want to play.
You could look up guitar riffs and incorporate them into your playing.
I went from banjo to guitar and started out with a beginner flatpick book. There's a lot of information in there that wouldn't be new to you, but there's also a lot of information on flatpicking that would be very valuable. That's how I'd start out.
Here's the book I started out with. Take a look on the Mel Bay site and see if that's something you might be interested in buying. Mel Bay's Complete Flatpicking Guitar Book by Steve Kaufman.
I'm sure there are many other good beginner books out there, that's just the one I started on.
Whatever you decide, good luck and have fun!
Thanks!
''Hot Licks For Bluegrass Guitar''(Orrin Starr), not a beginner's book but if you've been playing rhythm for a long time you'll find a hole lot of new ideas.
I just might have that book. Thanks
