Russ Barenberg has compiled twenty solos in the bluegrass tradition -- fiddle tunes, contemporary instrumentals and breaks for songs -- that are moderately challenging but not too difficult for the average guitarist. While learning these pieces, Russ helps you develop solid flatpick guitar technique, build a repertoire of great tunes, and get ready to solo in a band!

Russ plays each solo up-to-speed with accompaniment, and then slows it down so you can hear every note clearly and distinctly. Throughout, he provides tips and advice that will help you get the most out of these tunes, and make your playing really shine.

Here are the tunes you\'ll be learning: Liberty, Soldier\'s Joy, Little Annie, The Eighth of January, Hot Corn, Cold Corn, Blackberry Blossom, Down Yonder, Leather Britches, Whitesburg, Molly & Tenbrook, John Hardy, John Henry, Fisher\'s Hornpipe, Forked Deer, Opera Reel, Temperance Reel, St. Anne\'s Reel, Red-Haired Boy.
