A SERIES OF 17 RADIO BROADCASTS BY STEFAN GROSSMAN

Who’s who in today’s fingerpicking world? How do blues and ragtime styles of yesterday relate to the guitar playing of today? What is American Primitive Guitar? What is happening on the fingerpicking scene in Britain, Holland, France, Germany and the USA? These are questions that I am asked every week.
