            This guy, well, he was great. Has a vid on youtube, but I think it is the only one.

            Phil Baugh
            Baugh’s claim to fame is the 1965 hit “Country Guitar,” where singer Vern Stovall calls out everyone from Les Paul to Luther Perkins to Hank Garland to Duane Eddy, as Baugh apes each guy’s style to a “T.” The album Live Wire! is a must-have, as Baugh’s picking equals Joe Maphis and Jimmy Bryant, and his low-down twang could make Don Rich envious. Baugh became a Nashville session wiz in the ’70s, and died at the age of 53 in 1990.

            The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

            It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
