well i really enjoyed this so much, going to learn some old blue grass tunes this spring! i used a small hard fender tortuous jazz pick i did not like at all,, kept moving.. only other pick i had was way too light like a .50mm wish i had my favorite picks I LEFT HOME! , still,Aside from using a good favorite stiff pick, this picking technique takes time and lot of practice/ alternating and fill licks between rhythm and timing..Metronome important learning this picking technique too which i’ll likely start doing for more advanced bluegrass! later yall! I’m going to gortex up and try my luck for crappies ! cheers!

love it you are a guitar picker no doubt. 172 is a challenge to play and you did it! My timing is horrible . No Soul, NO Rhythm. 7 months playing and I’m so excited but i’m no 63 year old prodigy.

Some very nice picking there, John. Good job! I like playing this and then going into a basic version of Wildwood Flower, which seem to work quite well together.

That Carter scratch style bluegrass is good stuff. Good practice to play the chords and melody. And not so blistering fast as a lot of the more modern bluegrass pickers like Tony Rice.
Great job John. As usual, you learned it fast and performed it well. Hope the Crappie were biting.

Sounding good John, I really enjoy this lesson.
Looks wet and chilly there.

John, when I’m honest,
I wish we both would sit in a salon with a nice beer and make country music together. LOL.
You’re just great!

Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Ty all for the kind comments, I owe it to all here and especially Brian for his ability to teach and make every lesson so fun to practice! This style of picking is really fun stuff…now i want to learn more bluegrass but also going to keep tight with anything Brian is sharing with us @ AM ..aS FOR FISHING, IT WAS BRUTAL! WIND CHILL FLURRIES ..LOL.. fishing was slow but catching fish is a bonus, we mostly release em unless we know the bite is good.. only a few smallmouth and crappies all released… repaired docks are in place..just in time because the water levels are flood stage now! all work is finished! time for steak and more beer! play friday lesson when i get back! cheers all!
