Dieseldawg Posted September 8, 2008 #5 Posted September 8, 2008 Thanks for the great side track.Spent more time there then planned ,but it was time well spent.
hipshot Posted September 8, 2008 Author #6 Posted September 8, 2008 Wow that's amazing... Is he blind? yeah, Wizzard , be was born blind, in the same part of the country as Chet Atkins, and about the same time.they didn't have t.v.s or radios, so they learned to entertain themselves THE HARD WAY!
papa smurf Posted September 8, 2008 #7 Posted September 8, 2008 I've been a Doc Watson fan for decades. That style of flatpicking is pretty under-appreciated in the mainstream. for some other outstanding guitar work, check out Dan Crary, The Hellecasters, Johnny Hiland.
hipshot Posted September 8, 2008 Author #8 Posted September 8, 2008 Kelly, i KNEW i couldn't possibly be the only Doc Watson fan in the crowd! granted, there are a lot of GREAT flatpickers, out there, but they can all SEE the frets! lol just jt
