I noticed the fingernail on your third finger...how about your first and second? Is that part of the key to being a good finger picker? I never see that mentioned but I can imagine that it must help !!!
BTW...good job on this instructional video !!!!!!1
Would love to see you do the same kind of lesson for the intro to "Amos Moses"...great teaching technique and at the right speed for a beginning country player.....
Jerry was a fingerpicker. He did not use a flatpick. He used a thumb pick. You can't duplicate the claw style of jerry reed with a flatpick. If you really want to learn to play like jerry check out buster b. Jones and craig dobbins
@johntwhitt You are correct about Jerry being a thumb-picker..but I have seen a few players who can "claw" with a flat pick. Check out my new videos of this song and see what you think. Thanks!
Colton, thanks for posting this. You are right, Jerry was the BOMB on guitar. You have done a really nice job with this video. Looks like I'll be up many nights in a row trying to learn this.
Nice one Colton, I was trying to learn this intro from the tab and a CD of Jerry. It was a bit too quick for my ear. Having it slowed down and seeing the left hand positions helped me get the timing and feel pretty quickly so thanks a lot.
If you could post the rest of the tune it would certainly make my life easier, ha ha.
