We're re-issuing one of Chris's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Chris: 

One of the most overlooked tools in a flatpicker's toolbox is the use of dynamics. It can be very easy, especially as a flatpicker, to always play as loud as possible. This is understandable: in a stringband the guitar is much quieter than any of the other instruments. However, there is a lot of musical drama that's easily accessible to you by just considering the large, phrase-length dynamic contours that are possible. This week we I'm teaching the intro that I played on last week's video with special emphasis on the dynamics. Give it a try. The extra drama you can get from playing dynamically is relatively low-hanging fruit!
