Thirteen songs are presented in both a simple 'Carter-style' melody-based arrangement followed by a more 'fleshed out' fiddle-style arrangement. Using the licks and concepts presented here, guitarists can develop their own unique solos to popular songs. 'Angeline the Baker' is presented in a special four-part arrangement that details how to take a simple quarter-note-type melody and develop it into a full eighth-note-based flatpicking solo.
