Homespun Music Instruction

Hi Friends, Homespun got a nice mention and a link in this Washington Post piece. Our good friends Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer were among those featured and had some nice things to say. https://www.washingtonpost.com//2acc4978-88f9-11eb-82bc-e5

Happy birthday to these great mandolin players, Tim O'Brien and Ronnie McCoury (shown here with the great David Grisman), plus Radim Zenkl - all Homespun instructors!

Here's my new "Lick of the Day" for March, an easy but spectacular little flurry of pull-off triplets that make a great ending or a lick between phrases. Even near beginners should be able to master this one. It's fun and will bring attention to your picking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxGHYOkGp2s

Here's a sample of Zak Hobbs' brand new Homespun lesson, "A Guitarist's Guide to Hybrid Picking." You can see all the info here: https://www.homespun.com//a-guitarists-guide-to-hybrid-pi/ https://youtu.be/Pw-ERMompcc

New Lesson! Hybrid picking is a versatile technique that combines the power of a flatpick with the intricacy of fingerpicking. Zak Hobbs has learned this technique directly from his grandfather, guitar icon Richard Thompson, who uses it for most of his song arrangements. Zak demystifies hybrid picking, breaking it down to its essential elements to enhance your overall guitar musicianship. https://www.homespun.com//a-guitarists-guide-to-hybrid-pi/
