Haat is SO awesome. Jack is an amazing picker, very technical, but I've always thought nobody has the power that Doc has, not to mention I don't think there has ever been anyone who can put in all those cool runs he does in between his vocals. The other thing....Doc is the absolute master of cross-picking. For an example of the power of his cross picking break, listen to his lead on Blue Ridge Mountain Blues when he is playing at merle Fest (I think) with Jack, T. Rice, Steve Kaufman and Dan Crary. It is unbelievable.
I must confess. Thank you.
man this is pickin' at its best!
