Johnny Cash & Maybelle Carter - Pick The Wildwood Flower

[marneist]

I think it was a beautiful thing how the Carters accepted Johnny as family.

@Lester1Beck, I was JUST going to ask what kind of archtop guitar that Maybelle was playing!  THANK YOU! A friend just bought a 1954 D50 in fairly decent shape.

[Chimzembque]

If there is a Heaven, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhodes, John Denver, Dimebag Darrell and many others are patiently taking lessons from Momma Myabelle who took the guitar from a rhythm instrument and almost single-handily invented Lead Guitar

Well put!

[moproducer]

@Chimzembque I'm sure they are...but what about Django Reinhardt and Andres Segovia, who both predated Maybelle?

[3hd31hd1]

@Chimzembque So true!

[mrgenius4]

damn !!!

Rest of peace both of you country music legendaries !

[ColdFusionGames]

Amen.

[baasting]

Maybelle is playing on an Gibson L-5! Pretty guitar! And then Maybelle, who was an Angel!

[pacos33s]

Is that a guitar-sized mandolin she's playing?

[Narutoxbleach503]

thats a gibson 1928 L-5 that is far from a mandoits probly the best guitar made

[pacos33s]

I got confused when I watched this the first time and thought I saw 8 tuning pegs instead of 6.

[Dustpan04347]

not to mention the way she plays... just like a mandolin player

[NamVet70Mike]

It was called by Johnny "The Carter Scratch!" due to the auto-harp like down stroke with the middle,ring,and little fingers. I truly can't wait until I reach my heavenly home and listen to these great artist again.

[carterfamily1928]

this is great i wish they would play the whole song but its still great!

[southrules]

Thank god for You Tube! I could sit and watch Cash for the rest of my days.

[louisalit]

southrules, I so agree with you. What a nice family man he was. I have became so fond of this original American culture, this folk music. It is so nice to see and hear Sara and Maybelle singing and playing too, and A.P. Carter was a great songwriter

[tita4ewa]

this would be better if the sound were up.

[ghostgalwichita]

puts a smile on

[Team2BeatVU007]

Anything with JC and Maybelle is awesome.

[jul150]

[taterarneutenski]

It's allways nice to hear Maybelle pick the guitar! thank you for sharing this with me:)
