@SmithsonianFolkways you should add "Lesson" to the title and/or tags. We gotta keep this music alive and this is a great lesson from the man himself!
If I close my eyes and listen I'd swear he uses at least 3 fingers. It's amazing to see and hear how much he does with only a thumb and one finger on the guitar.
I totally agree! I just found this wonderful Smithsonian Folkways channel yesterday night and I do believe I have found the sweetest and richest thing on the internet!
so happy to see this...thanks for your continuing efforts to promote and preserve music. doc watson is amazing...his signature voice and picking style are such a joy. a friend and i are going to see Doc Watson this weekend...what a wonderful gift...!
Can anybody identify this guitar, who made it?

@AmericanDiaz: This video is about Doc Watson, and isn't the appropriate place for protesting the alleged "crimes" you mention...
