as a youngster growing up in the hood this was something new to my ears and i feel in love after watching this pbs special when i was young.....HAHA imagine a hardcore gangster looking mexican like me playing this in my car hella loud riding down the hood LOL
@bigmrclean Definitely. Earl will always be in the hstory books, not just for the first to play his peticular picking style, what is now called Scruggs-style, but as a hero always to bluegrass musicians and fans.
@bigmrclean people dont understand bluegrass musicians, this kind of pickin takes decades of practice unlike music nowadays when all you have to do is scream at a microphone and play as loud as u can. bluegrass musicians didnt need all the technology to play great music and they originally had to build there own instruments
@bigmrclean Earl Scruggs is the all time best in bluegrass, and when Lester Flatt was still alive they were the all time best in that music. Now that bluegrass has become kind of popular with the trendy city folks I'm afraid it will go the way of country and western, downhill until it's not worth listening to. I was born and raised in the south during the late 1930's when C&W was just becoming popular in the rest of the country, and it's gone WAY downhill in the last 20 years or so.

The electric guitar player is the amazing John Jorgenson of the Hellecasters, The Desert Rose Band and for a number of years with Elton John's band.

Who is the guy on the Electric Guitar? And I agree with the guy that said he couldn't function on the stage with the "Earl Skruggs".

The stuff Mr. Scruggs has done with the 5 string banjo could not be even told in a 1,000,000 page book.
