  • He could use his whammy bar as a bottle opener.

  • FAST Travis picking. Great subtle showmanship, too!

  • @Creepycottages Yep, Joe Maphis sure did!

  • All that and P-90s too.

  • I wish I had Merle's guitar !!!!

  • lol...crazy looking tremolo arm

  • @SmeagolTheBeagle Tommy was actually inspired by Chet Atkins who was inspired by Merle Travis. Listening to the radio, Chet always thought that Merle was using his thumb and two fingers, so he taught himself that way. He later found out, Travis uses just his thumb and index finger. Chet was amazed!

  • I think he needs a bigger guitar.

  • He's pretty awesome.

    Tommy Emmanuel is probably inspired by this guy!
