Celtic Melodies for Flatpicking Guitar
Taught by Jody Stecher
"Jody Stecher, who
is basically a teacher to me, opened up my ears to more beautiful music
than anyone else ever did...than I ever knew existed. He is also one of
my favorite musicians on Earth to play with. I have never known anyone
so intensely and completely enveloped in music. It's my suspicion that
if you drained all the music out of Jody, you could carry what was left
around in an eye dropper."
