The 2012 Sampler CD from FGM Records highlights songwriters who have either appeared on our label, or are friends of our label. There are 11 vocals songs and 2 instrumental tunes presented here. Each of these songs was handpicked by Flatpicking Guitar Magazine editor Dan Miller because they display outstanding lyrics, writing, vocal delivery, arrangement, and execution. We feel that samplers are a great way for you to listen to the best each artist has to offer so that you can discover some "new favorites" and then explore the artists who you enjoy more thoroughly by buying the source CD from which each track was taken. Here is the song list with an indication of the source CD. All of the source CDs are available from Flatpicking Mercantile. Featured Writers include:
Tim Stafford - Tim May - Kacey Cubero - Peter McLaughlin - Geoffrey Rutledge - Brad Davis - Mark Cosgrove Wil Maring - Paige Anderson - Robert Bowlin - Robert Starnes - Dillon Hodges - Mike Justis - Paula Breedlove

Flatpicking Favorites: Hot & Spicy CD Download
|
|
|
When Dan Miller (of FGM Records and Flatpicking Guitar Magazine) responds to reader and customer requests, he does it in a big way! On its face, this CD features 16 guitar duets of flatpicking "standards" -- but these tunes are now anything but standard. Dan gathered as many flatpicking luminaries as he could and asked them to play "hot and fast." And the pickers responded. Tired of playing these tunes the same old way, they added a spicy twist to each duet, adding new approaches, new licks, and new phrasings.

New Standards for Flatpicking Guitar - CD
|
|
|
In September of 1999 Flatpicking Guitar Magazine began producing an instructional audio CD to accompany each issue. In preparation for the first audio CD we recorded Kenny Smith and Curtis Jones playing a duet on the tune "Angeline the Baker" for the September/October 1999 issue. After listening to Kenny and Curtis play this tune together we realized the incredible beauty and power the sound of two acoustic guitars played in duo contained and the idea for New Standards was born.
