Mike Seeger: Early Southern Guitar Styles (2008)

Mike Seeger presents this intermediate guide to playing old-time music from America's rural South, covering 25 songs and explaining in detail the guitar techniques that they incorporate. These include banjo-like styles, rags, blues, parlour guitar-based pieces, slide guitar tunes, and many song accompaniment styles, most of which Mike has picked up directly from traditional players such as Maybelle Carter, John Hurt, Leadbelly, Sam McGee, Roscoe Holcomb, John Jackson and Elizabeth Cotten, or their recordings.
