As I'm always interested in learning more about specialized touchstyle performance and technique, I was interested to learn that Marcus Reuter has developed a systematic approach to playing/learning touchstyle instruments called, "The Family." I think one can get a rough idea of some of the training practices in this video.

 

 

This is definitely an interesting system, but it doesn't seem to be written down, or available for study anywhere outside his study group called, the Touch Guitar Circle. I have written Marcus and asked him how one learns this system, and he invited me to attend one of his seminars. Unfortunately, they are held in Europe. Trey Gunn is an advocate and teacher of this system called "The Family," and is available online and in Seattle, Washington for personal lessons and interaction. I would love to know If anybody knows more about the details of this system.
