I recently joined the site and I love your playing. You have a lot of focus on bluesy notes and slightly dissonant notes that I have always found very interesting. I am new to flatpicking (about 6 months) and am absolutely hooked. Just working through the fundamentals on white dove and was wondering where to next. Is there an order that you recommend to work through the information for techniques in the different songs or just pick a song and get into it? It feels like a massive jump from fundamentals into Honey you don't know my mind, which is brilliant by the way.
Any guidance you can offer on how best to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
I've mostly laid things out so that different concepts and techniques tend to build on each other, so I'd recommend going in chronological order. Banks of the Ohio is probably one of the more accessible songs, but I'd encourage you to browse your way through the whole catalog. Also, there will often be lots of more advanced content in the musical example at the beginning of a lesson series that we will explore over the course of the 4 or 5 lessons. Don't let the first lesson scare you!
