Great course. Sue’s knowledge of American roots music put all the lessons in historical context. The styles and techniques of these female artist eye opening, which one can add to their repertoire.

Finally!
Thank you TrueFire and Sue Foley for honoring the female pioneers of guitar! This class is as much a history lesson as it is a series of guitar lessons. I love the leaps across genres - from American folk to flamenco. There's something here for everyone. And Sue's descriptions regarding technique are thorough, detailed and accessible.
