Paulnumbfingers Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I love watching artists play their guitars. I don't want to just listen to them, I want to watch their fingers glide over the strings, watch them play the chords like a pianist after too many espresso shots. Now I probably should not admit this on the acoustic forum, but I had no idea who doc Watson was and looked him up after reading an article. Several YouTube videos only showed a picture of him, while his music played. He sounded great, but when I watched another video with him actually playing then my impression of him only increased. He played so beautifully and effortlessly that it made my fingers tingle and want to get back on my guitar. For me, watching great artist play is truly inspiring and a joy. Soooo, thank you members for your postings and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseybeat1963 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't play in this style but I would if I was starting over again. This guys not a pro but his original arrangements of these two songs are very nice..especially the second one starting at 3:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SNnCceLS9M And I dig this guy too. Who is one of the best at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I would agree with you, he sure can play. I am fumbling around with the finger play style. I want to learn that pattern and the one Ryan Bingham used playing the weary kind.
