I often read that isn't seen as a particularly great player, but as a I disagree.

There are a couple of things about his guitar playing that impress me.

One is his on his early stuff which is very good. The other is his ability to sing slightly out of time with his playing, or to start singing a touch earlier than seems natural.

This is something non guitar players might not notice.

My friend and bandmate was a member of the , a legendary folk and bluegrass act from near Rochester, NY. They return to Saratoga Springs each Boxing Day to perform. During the worst of the pandemic he and John Kribs had me engineer an online show. After some tricky editing to sync their videos, it turned out pretty well!

much as I *love* my ukulele, my recent practice on Honky Tonk Women (on guitar) just shickles the tit outta me.

I’d forgotten how much I love alternating bass lines and other bits that ukes just don’t do.

also, I do the song in “dropped E” tuning. if you’re a guitarist and don’t know how to do that, just ask. it’s easy peasy.

Still no voice to sing with ...

Do you remember that moment when you looked down at your hands and realized for the first time, "Hey, I'm doing it! I'm fingerpicking!"

I'll never forget where I was or how it felt. So I present to you, the very first song I ever plucked out a bass and melody on...

"Grandfather's Clock"

Nearly every town has a Little River or two, neglected creeks that need some love, care and protection. Here’s my musical tribute to one of them. open.spotify.com/album/6NbNOYm

Propik fingertone finger picks. “Best of both worlds” fingerpick tone but feel and control of fleshy fingertips. Wasn’t too keen on the plectrum style thumb pick so swapped over to a Dunlop 94530 thumb pick.
I usually play without them but they’re great for a sharper tone and more volume.

This is a lot to take in but transcendental fingerpicking based on global stories, performed by a guy who looks like a hippie programmer is THE BEST. Something for everyone.

Thanks to my wife, @Ellie, for filling the Ralph McTell hole I had that I didn't know existed.

I survived my only performance of 2022! Here’s my take on some at last night’s family Christmas party.

A few years ago and I recorded this tune for his album de Colores. I had always wanted to lay down something in the style of and this was my chance. Danny of course is one of the finest players in the country. I only have a still shot of Danny during the session but I had the camera rolling when I cut my parts. I’m playing both parts during the breaks.

Let's have a little blues:

Mississippi John Hurt Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor
youtube.com/watch?v=qC18_XEAe2

This fast, highly syncopated tune predates most blues, originating in the late 19th century. Like many tunes, it has changed form originating as part of a ragtime piece, with the lyrics added later.
