New Slow Jam DVD from Pete Wernick

Pete Wernick describes his latest instructional DVD from Homespun Tapes, Bluegrass Slow Jam for the Total Beginner, as “A Super-Easy, No-Fail Play-Along Session.” Designed for relative beginners on any bluegrass instrument, this DVD allows a new player to pick along on 17 popular bluegrass standards at a comfortable speed – a crucial step in building the confidence you need to join in at jams. All the tunes on the DVD require just four chords (G, C, D and A) and the tunes are played by Pete, along with a band made up of bluegrass professionals.
