BOOK || Flatpicking Guitar MAGAZINE

There's not much to be found directly for the Baritone Ukulele so the largest source of reference comes down from guitar information or up from ukulele information. I am an explorer and my two favorite S.F. Bay Area music stores for Folk, Flatpicking, Blues, etc. are in Berkeley (The 5th String) and Palo Alto (Gryphon Strings).

I have been experimenting with flatpicking but just using my fingers and not a pick as a personal preference. Came across this FLATPICKING GUITAR MAGAZINE for a $6.00 cover price. The magazine has a quality color cover and 76 durable bond pages. This particular magazine has:

• Bill Nershi article (6 full pages long, plus 3 pages of 2 arrangements)
• Walk With Me arrangment (2p)
• Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar + arrangement (2p)
• Beginner's Page + arrangement (2p)
• Kaufman's Corner + arr. (3p)
• Taking it to the next Level + arr. (3p)
• Nashville Flattop The Rest Stroke; Rest Stroke G-runs + arr. (3p)
• Sharpening the Axe Inversions, Triads up the Neck (4p)
• Bluegrass Guitar Duets: In The Pines (2p)
• Crosspicking as Filler Will the Circle be Unbroken (3p)
• The O-Zone Morrison's Jig (3p)
• Favorite Scales & Exercises, Part 3 (6p)
• Music Theory: Mastering the Fingerboard (Circle of 4ths & 5ths) (5p)
• Pickin' Fiddle Tunes (5.5p)
• John McGann's Eclectic Accoustic
• and a few more

Quite a broad selection... The drawback for Bari players is that the arrangements are made for guitar, so only (3) arrangements are really clean for Bari.

1. Will the Circle Be Unbroken
2. Old Joe Clark
3. Great Basket Island (except 2 notes)

There's a huge amount of high quality material here including theory and various skill building concepts. The subscription rate is $30 for 6 issues and $60 for 6 issues plus a CD for each.
