Hot Bluegrass Guitar Licks
Westvon Publishing has launched a new series of guitar instructional packages, Hot Guitar Licks, and the first release is for bluegrass guitar. The package features audio files and printed music, and can either be delivered in the mail, or downloaded online for immediate use.
The lessons are taught by Rob Lawson, Tim Kilburn and Sherri Chekal. Rob and Tim teach the Bluegrass Licks volume, and Sherri will teach subsequent releases for banjo. All three are members of Deepwater Bluegrass, based in Maumee, Ohio.
