Steve Kaufman's Digital Homespun DVD Downloads

This is one of my favorite picking tunes. It is a Texas style tune, which means that the chords are all over the place. If it were an Old Time tune you would play the medical set of chords - D 'n' A but with Texas Style there are lots of fun chords.

Guitarists play this lead in 2nd position. Have fun with this great tune. If you want to hear two champs go at this one pick up a copy of Back Home with Steve Kaufman (3 Time Champ) and Robert Shafer (Two Time Champ).

A friend of mine asked for this tune the other day and I started thinking about how much I really love this tune and wanted to share it with you.

Guitar Places to watch: there is a neat little position jump at the end of measure 2. Use the fingerings that are marked

Both Mandolin and Guitar: Watch out for the measured with the slurred or tied eighth notes. They are picked DU U D.

Fiddle - Just have fun!

This is a beautiful song that my brother, Mike, suggested I include in my Christmas book. It turned out to be one of my favorites in the 24 song collection. Thanks bro.
My Christmas Book is written for both Mandolin and Guitar and I am sure you will love it. The accompaning CD is a listening CD with no instruction or talking on it.

These are the audio files for the mandolin that correspond to my article in Mandolin Magazine.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star - Slow and (140 BPM)
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star - Faster (180 bpm)
All the tab and written text can be found in the winter issue of the magazine.
Go to www.mandolinmagazine.com for a subscription

These are some fine videos shot by John Bryant. Enjoy the Magic!

All of my Homespun DVDs and Downloadable to your computers.
Enjoy!
