Flatpicking Tips for the Acoustic Guitar
Flatpicking Tips for the Acoustic Guitar
By Lee Griffith
The thing I love to do most on a guitar is to play old-time fiddle tunes with a
flatpick. It was not until after I had played guitar for about ten years that I took a few lessons Mick Martin, an incredibly fast and articulate flatpicker in Pittsburgh. Mick set me on the right path toward getting those fiddle tunes to flow and to really ring out crisply and cleanly on a guitar. These principles are applicable to not only bluegrass or fiddle tunes, but to all kinds of acoustic guitar music played with a flatpick.
