I just bought a DVD taught by Steve Kaufman(3 time national flatpickin champ) and I beleive with a LOT of practice, I might just learn how to flatpick. I also just ordered a DVD taught by Steve Kaufman called "The art of guitar crosspickin" I think I can come more handling the flatpickin than the crosspickin. So any of you guys that want to try your hand at guitar crosspickin, I have this DVD for sale. It's on Music etc forum. Steve breaks down 7 songs with the crosspickin style. Just in case your interested.

Yes, I flatpick the 6 string. A little crosspicking and trying some hybred picking. Funny though, I need thumb/finger picks for steel, but could never get used to them on the guitar.

Same here Delvin, I tried thumbpickin my acoustic and Tele, but just couldn't get use to it.
I think I could do it if I put more time into practicing with a thumbpick, but I try it for a few minutes, and go back to my flatpick.

| I love acoustic flat picking it is one of the purest forms; no amps, no tone improvers, no nonsense. Just you against the guitar either you play it or you don't. In the early sixties (and to this day) I was a fan of Doc Watson who really founded the basis of modern flatpicking with his version of "Black Mtn Rag" in 1962. What I didn't know about Doc was he first started playing those tunes on a electric Les Paul in a country dance band before he became the acoustic giant he is today....In fact Ralph Rinzler had to lend him an acoustic guitar for his first gigs. None of this detracts from Docs colossal talent and for once we can say he really is the father(at age 86) of the guitar rendered fiddle tune. Everyday I play a fiddle tune and try to play as hard as he does....Peter |
