What a great way to improve your picking, build up speed and stamina, and get
those licks and solos working so you can really jam!
On these four CDs, Steve plays 49 classic bluegrass tunes slowly and then up-to-speed. With the stereo balance control, you can turn off the lead and play along with the rhythm track to get your soloing together.

Steve Kaufman is the only three-time winner of the National Flatpicking Championships,
held each year in Winfield, Kansas. His music covers a broad range of styles
including bluegrass favorites, popular swing standards, Irish and Appalachian
