this is a great lesson, i've been wanting to build on this style for a long time and this is the most accessible approach I've found. thanks for the helpful video
I really like your version of this song. I'm fairly new to this genre, and can pick out the melody but this will take a while to unpack. I'd love to be able to play it with you at the end. Thank you for putting out full lessons and reserving your Patreon for extra bits, like tab and digital downloads. I appreciate "free" lessons for starting out.
I like the way you initially slide down on the A string from the notes B to C to C#, and I'm not sure if Peter Rowan plays it that way or not, but since I prefer the full G chord after the C, I find it a little bit easier for me to play that part on the D string (which I don't always do and prefer to alternate how I play Wildwood Flower). A fun accompaniment part on lead guitar can be played on the second and/or alternating verses utilizing the C chord on the 8th fret, which I sometimes play as a segue after a song I co-wrote entitled "Appalachia", though I think I've only done that on the electric version video of it so far because I was testing out a Fender tube amp from 1971 and wanted to show off the Reverb on it in order to demonstrate how hillbilly surf rock can also be possible (though I tend to usually prefer to play acoustic and acoustic-electric music primarily because I tend to prefer it and also due to my otosclerosis hearing problems which I don't want to accerbate). I enjoyed playing along with you in this video using my Martin D-16RGT that has rosewood back and sides and was made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and it produced a very good harmonic blend with your instrument which looks like it also contains rosewood, so thank you for your instructional videos because it helps folks get better! ❤😊
That guitar rings like a bell, and great playing. Would you consider doing a video lesson of red prairie dawn that would be available to purchase thanks
I've never sat down and tested how fast I can play anything in particular. Think of the overall melody of a piece, decide on how fast that should be to sound the way you want it, and build up any cross picking sections to match that.
Hi, this is Luca from Italy. I'm a dobro player and I found your channel surfing the net. You are a great musician, and I was wondering if you are somehow interested in make a duet with me on some fiddle tunes we can decide together and then make a video and upload it on our channels. Even if this requests could seem weird, I'm a really normal person. I'm just looking for someone to play with me even if it means only virtually. In case you like my playing too, just let me know if you are intersted. That's it. Thanks for reading and good luck with your music. Luca

Just came across your channel. I love your playing. It’s so musical. That guitar is spectacular. What is it?
This guitar is very much an old friend to me - it's a '96 Bourgeois
What an incredible sound. What model is it? I’m relatively new to bluegrass guitar. Just bought an Iris and really like it.
Also what strings are you using.
The Clarence White version is the standard for flatpicking
Nice
Interesting... the 4 chromatic note run E - F -F# - G
never saw that before
How fast can you crosspick with metronome? What would be a good number for a goal?

Do you have to learn bluegrass first before you can this type of song ?
No. This song preceded bluegrass (1940s) by 20 or far more years.
