Flatpicking Styles from FGM Digital
The folks at Flatpicking Guitar magazine have released a new compilation series taken from the first 12 years of the publication’s archives.
When the back issues began to go out of print, publisher Dan Miller decided to start offering the content digitally and their first such compendium, Best Of The First Ten Years, was released last year in four volumes. They are available as either digital downloads (in PDF form) or on a CD ROM.
The new set of digital reprints is offered in these same formats, and in four volumes organized around Flatpicking Styles.
- Volume One: Pioneers and Legends
- Volume Two: Irish, English, Scottish, British Isles, and Canadian Tunes
- Volume Three: Gospel, Christmas, and Classical Tunes
- Volume Four: Blues, Swing & Jazz (to include Western Swing and Gypsy Jazz)
Each volume contains between 85 and 160 individual articles from the FGM archives and can be purchased as a PDF or CD ROM for $14.95
