A variety of new and traditional percussive techniques are now prerequisite for virtually every performing and recording style of acoustic guitar. Michael Hedges, Preston Reed, Andy McKee and Vicky Genfan slap and tap their way through solo guitar performances with brilliant precision and energy. John Mayer thumps out a mean bass line with his thumb. Kelly Joe Phelps uses a pinky move on his pick guard. Tommy Emmanuel’s percussive techniques are nothing short of amazing. Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds, James Taylor, Janis Ian, JJ Cale, Greg Brown, Rodney Crowell and dozens of other top caliber players Slap, Frail and Thump to spice up their performances and compositions.

Slap, Frail and Thump covers three essential percussive techniques for singer-songwriters, accompanists and solo guitar performers; palm slaps (for percussion and melody), frailing (traditionally a banjo picking technique) and thumping (combo slap and frail). Slap, Frail and Thump is demonstrated primarily on a six-string acoustic guitar for steel-string players; however all of the techniques can be readily applied to electric, 12-string and nylon-string guitar as well.
