what some of the great bluegrass
musicians have to say about him:
"Steve Kaufman is great; the boy can pick. He
knows what good music is."
Doc Watson
"Steve is one of the best young flatpickers
in the country. And along with his flair for
the hot and flashy, he has some additional
ammunition like power, clarity and musical
taste."
Dan Crary

most important, the melodic sense
is superb. You certainly set some high
standards for all of us to aspire to."

Six CDs and Includes a 139 page book with music + tab Level: All
How to work out guitar breaks to bluegrass vocals.
Many of you play with people that do more singing
than picking. They still want a solo from you when
the time comes. This series teaches you the solos to
20 of the most popular bluegrass vocals. This won't
teach you the words but rather the picking parts.
You can find the words on the Internet or in
several bluegrass songbooks but solos like these
are hard to find.
Steve Kaufman teaches 20 popular bluegrass
vocals at three different levels, and his four-tiered method works for all
players, from beginners to advanced: (1) Beginners learn the melody to
get familiar with the tune in its most basic form; (2) Intermediate players
get a series of interchangeable licks and runs; (3) Advanced techniques
and solos are taught for more experienced pickers; (4) Steve runs through
each tune again, complete with endings.
This series is not designed to teach you how to sing; rather, you will
learn to pick the lead solos while Donnie and Debbie Barbra sing the
songs: Nine-Pound Hammer, Blue Moon Of Kentucky, Blue Ridge Cabin
Home, Cabin In Caroline, Dark Hollow, Down The Road, Foggy

We call it PLP 4. The fourth in Steve’s
award winning instructional Parking Lot
Pickers series makes learning flatpicking
easy as coming in for private lessons with
the champ.
This six-hour set of lessons teaches you 20
more great traditional instruments, which we
predict will quickly become favorites. Once
again, Steve starts with the easy melody so beginners get the basics
down first; he then concentrates on intermediate-level licks and
runs; and finally, advanced pickers will be challenged by the
full-bore championship-level finished instrumental. Steve even
provides rhythm tracks for a fantastic practice session.
You'll learn these songs on this six-hour CD series: Angeline

to improving.

Band in a Book - A Three Volume set
The idea here is to help coordinate the pickers so you all have solos to play and
they can be played in the same key. What a concept - a "Band in the Book".
Within these pages you will find solos for the entire band: lead guitar, rhythm
guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass. The mandolin and fiddle share the
same tunings so their solos are just written once for both. If you are just starting
out and you are having difficulty-finding solos for your level - look no more.
These solos are written for the beginner level student assuming you can already
play a few simple solos or lead breaks. This series will help you to learn solos
on multiple instruments, help organize ensemble play, help develop a steady
sense of timing and give you hours of enjoyment as well.

Favorite 50 American Traditional
Fiddle Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar
Volume 1 Level All
This collection of fiddle tunes originally appeared in
"Kaufman's Collection of American Fiddle Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar (MB 95748)" but the book was so large and heavy
that they couldn't put all the songs on CDs to include with the
package so it was divided into four great, melody packed volumes. Each book now includes a CD that holds all the songs in the volume.
All the songs in the book are played note for note on the accompanying CD at about ¾
speed. Your goal is to learn the song, memorize it and then race with the Champ.
Steve Kaufman says he can't emphasize enough the importance of developing a large
repertoire of tunes. Fiddle tunes give us melodies that eventually allow us to begin to
improvise. Sometimes without even knowing it. The more tunes you know, the more
melodies and intersecting melody lines you know. This allows you to eventually cut
and paste portions of the melody line into another song. In the beginning you will
probably unknowingly replace and ending run. These are the last two measures of the
section of a tune. Many of them in the same key are interchangeable, unless they are
specific to the melody of the song. After a while you will cut out measures in the middle of the song and then you will be able to take the snips of melodies and play them
in another song in a different key thus beginning to improvise. All of this is possible
because you built up your repertoire of tunes

the same. They both fret the same. But they still have subtle differences. Some of the

A Complete Lesson for Beginners
90-Minute DVD, Includes music and tab.
Every guitarist has to begin somewhere, and
Steve Kaufman, one of the world’s most experienced guitar instructors, gets you started
the right way. No previous experience is necessary. All you need is this DVD plus an instrument, a flatpick,
and the desire to play.
Within minutes, Steve shows you how to tune up, hold the pick,
press the strings to the fretboard and play your first chords. A
short time after that you’ll be strumming and picking along to traditional folk, bluegrass and country songs, including Down in the
Valley, Aura Lee, Blue Ridge Cabin Home, Wildwood Flower
and Amazing Grace.
This lesson doesn’t stop at the basics. It moves ahead quickly,
introducing you to all the elements of guitar flatpicking: alternating bass patterns, single-string lead (melody) notes, hammer-ons,
pull-offs, and more. By the time you finish working through this
DVD you’ll have left the “beginner” label behind and will be
picking a fiddle tune (Soldier’s Joy) and a traditional mountain
tune (Shady Grove), and you will have the tools you need to
move ahead to more advanced study!

Drills and Tunes for Flatpick Guitarists
Steve Kaufman's comprehensive three-DVD course in
bluegrass flatpicking takes you from "Picking 101"
through advanced techniques that will enable you to
hold your own in any band or jam session.
Our Most Popular DVD Series
Level: Intermediate and Advanced
It's every bluegrass flatpicker's dream to be able to
build up speed while maintaining good tone and
timing. Now one of America's hottest players gives
you the tools you need to get over the musical speed
bumps -- without crashing and burning as you go.
It's all a matter of getting your right- and left-hand
mechanics working correctly, and Steve has powerful advice and wellthought-out exercises to help you. Using tunes like "Old Joe Clark,"
"Soldier's Joy" and "Big Mon" as drills, Steve works on your hand and
pick coordination and shows how to practice for best results. Tips on lefthand fretting positions (keep a light touch, very little skin on the back of
the guitar neck), combined with how to hold and move your picking hand
(use a wide swing with proper depth of pick; right hand should act as metronome or pendulum) help solve mechanical failures that often slow you
down.
You'll learn how to play syncopated runs and crosspicking patterns with
ease, as well as a cross-picked version of "Wildwood Flower" that will
amaze your listeners. Steve shows you how triplets and double-time
picking will help build your flatpicking technique and allow you to play
blazing bluegrass instrumentals. As Steve puts it, "once you've got the
mechanics of your right hand down, it doesn't care what your left hand is
doing." Then it's up to you to "oil the machinery" by practicing, burning
tunes and licks into muscle memory so you don't have to think about
them. Finally, you'll combine all the elements in a show-stopping display
of chord runs and picking combinations on the Don Reno classic "Little
Rock Getaway." This video will help all aspiring flatpickers develop their
potential and keep up with others in hot jam sessions and performances.

tunes.
DVD #2, "Building Bluegrass Technique"
you'll
have built a "runs vocabulary" and learned to
cross pick, move up the neck, play bass runs and construct hot bluegrass solos.
DVD #3, "Developing Speed and Style," covers the finer points of style, using slides, arpeggios, bends, accents, intros and endings, and that most challenging of subjects, building up speed.
A patient and encouraging instructor, Steve pushes you forward while allowing you to advance at your own pace. He helps you develop a solid repertoire
of classic tunes, including "Liberty," "Salt Creek," "Blackberry Blossom,"
"Ragtime Annie," "Clarinet Polka," "Home Sweet Home," "Cripple Creek,"
"Hand Me Down My Walking Cane," "Wildwood Flower," "Wayfaring

Steve Kaufman - Stylin’

were recorded in 1977. Steve’s parts
were recorded in 2004. Sometimes it
takes a while to get a project finished.

brought back great memories. Red is
masterfully featured on 7 songs. These
were originally cut in 1977. It was from
the studio tracks of the first LP vinyl I
ever cut. All the parts were stripped off
except for Red’s. I played all the other parts on this project except for a cameo
appearance from Leesa Lanham on Upright Bass on Beaumont Rag.
We travel the many roads of acoustic guitar music with this special CD.
Everything from lightning fast breakdowns and hoedowns to romantic ballads.
Thumb Style to Flatpicking—this CD has it all and we hope you enjoy it.

As I’ve said before, the only place this much music can
take place is either Kamp Kaufman or Heaven. As a
guitarist I can say that I am humbled every year by the
talent at the Kamps. Not only the instructors and
performers but by the students themselves. We meet new
friends each year and see old friends return. It’s like
nothing I have ever seen before. A bonding takes place in
June each year at the Kamp that cannot be described here.
The year of this recording was the first year the
Flatpicking Kamp sold out with 200 flatpickers, the
mandolin Kamp had 97 enrolled and the Banjo Kamp had
68. That’s a lot of students and the instructors handled it beautifully. We teach music during
the day and when the sun goes down the Kamp Koncerts begin. It is truly a magical series.
Recorded June 11-23, 2001 during Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamps. This is a Kamp with
the world’s most stellar instructors who are also incredible performers and great people to
hang around with.

The Best of the Kamp Concert Series—Volume 5
Live at Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamp 2002
This is CD Set was recorded at one of the most incredible concert series every captured to tape. It was very
difficult this year sorting out all the unbelievable concerts. They were recorded between June 10-22, 2002 at
Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamp. When the job of
selecting material began, we had to first listen through
23 hours of concerts. Then we had to narrow it down to
the best materials. This number was 53 songs. We then
had to narrow that down to the 38 songs you have before you. Your job is a whole lot easier than ours was you just have to sit back and relax and listen to the
music. Imagine yourself in a world of music for an
entire week. It’s a blast and if you haven’t been here for the Kamp Series - make plans
to be with us next June.
The Selections include: CD 1
Rights Of Man Medley - Steve Kaufman and Tony McManus, Lament of De Vincent

The Best of the Kamp Concert Series - Volume 7
We Got Ties—Tie Dye that is!
Live at Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamp 2004
This CD represents over 36 hours of concerts
trimmed down to a mere two hours of incredible

the music that didn’t make it to this project.
Maybe someday there will be a compilation CD of

then, enjoy this CD set and we hope you will be in
our audience live. The concerts, open to the public, are held each night of the Kamp and are amazing to see and hear.
