Bluegrass legend Eddie Adcock is well-known for his ability to extract the sublime from even the simplest of guitar tunes, and now viewers looking to master the skills that will allow them to do the same can receive a comprehensive lesson in fingerpicking from the man who spent an impressive twelve-year tenure with the world renowned Country Gentlemen. In breaking down such popular pieces as "Under the Double Eagle", "Sugar Foot Rag", and "Eddie in the High Ground" to their core essentials, Adcock displays how hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, right-hand rolls, alternating thumb/index finger combinations, and a variety of other techniques can create an exciting and incredibly fast-paced bluegrass sound.
