Happy Traum
Includes the book Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar (also available, catalog number 14033954) and the DVD Easy Steps to Fingerpicking Guitar (also available, catalog number 00641546), in one money-saving pack!
The book combines two previous titles, “Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar” and “Traditional and Contemporary Guitar Fingerpicking Styles” to commemorate 40 years since their original publication.
Happy Traum's landmark transcriptions represent the music of twenty-two musicians from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, as well as England, the Bahamas and Africa. Every song is presented in notation and tab, with biographical information.
In the DVD you will develop the ability to maintain a rock-steady rhythmic pulse with your thumb while picking out off-the-beat melody notes with your fingers – a “holy grail” of country, folk and blues playing. Drawing on four decades of teaching experience, Happy Traum has devised this nearly foolproof method. The simple children's song “Skip to My Lou” helps teach the basic concepts before getting into fingerpicking standards such as: Spike Driver's Blues • Green, Green Rocky Road • Staggerlee • Nine Pound Hammer • Hobo's Lullaby.

What Are NTSC and PAL?What are NTSC and PAL?
- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution on your television.
- PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution on your television.
What DVD standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL.
What Does This Mean?
What this means is that if you live in a country that uses NTSC, only this format will be compatible with your player. If you live in a country that uses PAL, most likely only this format will work for you. However, there are many players that will play both formats. The best bet is to check the manual for your DVD player before making a purchase.
What Is the DVD Region System?
DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region or indicated as 'all region.' On the back cover of many DVD packages, you will a find a region number (0 thru 6) placed inside an image of the Earth. This refers to which region the DVD is encoded for.
The geographical regions are as follows:
- REGION 0: ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD
- REGION 1: USA AND CANADA
- REGION 2: JAPAN, EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA, AND MIDDLE EAST
- REGION 3: SOUTH KOREAN, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, AND SOUTH EAST ASIA
- REGION 4: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, AND SOUTH AMERICA
- REGION 5: EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA
- REGION 6: CHINA
The way this works is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player. In addition, DVD players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1 DVDs. All region (region 0) DVDs may be played anywhere in the world.
The region system was designed to protect copyright and film distribution rights in the sense that movie studios can dictate who can watch what and when.
Please note that there are code free or Universal DVD players on the market that will play any disc from anywhere. Most Home DVD players are subject to region code restrictions, but most computer DVD players will play any DVD.
