she's very talented.

**Bob Denman** · 03-12-2015, 02:47 PM

Here's two more guys, who in their day; were real Axe-Men...

**ARtraveler** · 03-12-2015, 02:56 PM

Good playing--both videos.

I have jumped back on the "bandwagon" and playing my guitars again. I had a little dry spell where I did not do much. Amazing how much skill is lost when one does not follow the daily "practice" routine. That Bluegrass music you hear in the background sometimes may just be me.

A clip from my mentor and teacher of one of the songs that I enjoy playing. They liked it in church too. Some nice "hot stuff" shown by clicking on any of the additional videos shown at the very end of the clip. Yes, I play that also.

Don't Forget Leo Kottke on the 12 String Acoustic (hope the video links work)

Enjoy .... Ann

**Spyder_Cowgirl** · 03-12-2015, 04:29 PM

To Chet Atkins ... probably my favorite guitar player of all.

Again .... enjoy .... Ann

Not many can beat Chet and his unique "fingerstyle" method.

**Bob Denman** · 03-12-2015, 05:27 PM

Ann,
It may not be the style of music that I listen to...

...But both of your guys can get it DONE!

**Bob Denman** · 03-12-2015, 05:42 PM

I don't know if this guy is quite as fast...

...but he's smooth, and makes it look easy!

**Pennyrick** · 03-12-2015, 05:57 PM

Here's one from a couple of Blues pickers and I didn't even discover Dion could pick until a couple of year's ago.

Although he is better known for his fantasy art knives and swords, my son, Kit also picks a mean guitar. Here he is with a David Gilmour piece...

and the old Freddy King standard....Totally amazing picking!!

**ARtraveler** · 03-13-2015, 01:29 PM

That is some real good stuff OJ. Thank you.

And the amazing part--he did it all with his thumb and index finger. (Thumb and one). He came up with many unique chords to make the system work, and they were a "pain" to learn.

Chet mostly used a "thumb and three" and used mostly the classical style chord patterns.

Both are difficult methods to learn and to get the special "sound" takes some real work. I spent a year to perfect and learn The Old Rugged Cross--Chet Style for a church special.

**Bob Denman** · 03-13-2015, 02:35 PM

This artist had cool; all figured out!

And we lost him way too soon!

Thanks, mate! I have a dozen or so of his CDs plus numerous recordings which I made at his gigs
in the UK.
He's a real nice guy with no ego......He regards his playing merely as something he does to earn a crust.
He still teaches guitar at his home and has many children as well as adults as pupils!

He's a great raconteur and his gigs are sprinkled with tales of how he toured the South learning techniques
from some of the greats that were still with us back then.

Here's a warts an' all excerpt from Toby's performance at Keighley Blues Club (Yorkshire) :

**bruiser** · 03-13-2015, 06:33 PM

Ok. You forced me in to it. This is one of my all time favorite pickers. Saw him in person many years ago. This clip is from a TV show.

**Chupaca** · 03-13-2015, 06:47 PM

My favorite is Esteban... You can pick the song...

**bruiser** · 03-13-2015, 06:53 PM

You mean El Zorro?

Agree.

Few could pick like Ole Roy.

**ARtraveler** · 03-14-2015, 02:45 PM

Both Roy Clark and Chet Atkins were very versatile over any genre of music. Both did classical, country, easy listening, and even some rock & roll.

Chet Atkins used the fingerpicking method and employed that special sound. Roy Clark did his in what is known as "flatpicking" style.

Both are/were geniuses on the guitar. I have a few videos of both and just like to watch them pick some times.
