  • By far one of the greatest flatpickers playing today.  And a great teacher, too.

  • Just awesome. I've always been amazed of how fast flatpicking compensates for the lack of rhythm. I do it fingerstyle. Check out my version over on my channel.

  • excellent picking mate!

  • And dig tunnels with god-like endurance. this is a good version of the song. i have john fahey's version on my song. it is A+!

  • now that I think about it a nine pound hammer was used to break coal

  • I thought it was about a hammer used to drive steel in the ground for the railroad.Like john henry, a steel driving man

  • I've heard that the real meaning of this song is suggesting the proper hammer to use when playing a hammered dulcimer. :)

  • really nice!

  • Great

  • wow!!!! that was some awesome guitar playing. Great guitar too. I'm deciding between the d28 and d35
