Not only is she one of thee only/quintesential piedmont guitar players but her style really stands out amongst her contemporaries when you really watch and listen to her. Its incredibly subtle yet prominent. Stunning.
I discovered this beautiful lady, from listening to Blind Boy Fuller. When I started studying Fullers music I thought it was amazing that he came up with all those catchy guitar licks. Come to find out he learned alot of what he knew from his neighbors in North Carolina. Anyway they had a very distinct and unique sound. I hope Ms. Etta got paid for all her efforts and video's she made with various people before she passed. What a kind beautiful lady.
"An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing" Her soul really sings. Thanks for sharing this, she is an insipration.
Such a sweet lady. She has such a connection to the Carolina tradition but I hear a lot of similarities with the playing of Mississippi John Hurt on much of her work. And this piece sounds very much like classic Texas Blues in the style of Lightnin' Hopkins.

There is only one Etta Baker. I fell in love when I heard a recording of railroad bill. Just amazing.
FINALLY! A picker that you can see what she is doing and you can understand what she is saying.. Great camera work.
superb lesson,even those like me who don't play instruments enjoy and appreciate this.
Ms. Baker, you are a beautiful gem. I love you. Sincerely....jamie
no words left it just pure pleasure to listen
Etta fingers just go up and down on the neck so gently ✌💙
Stunningly outstanding executed with such cool nuance!!!

they cut this off right before the best part, on the dvd he asks her to slow down again and she keeps right on playing!
five stars anyway.
