  • Go Merle!

  • @insaneguitarfreak He actually had an album or two with Chet.

  • @terrho7 It is called Travis picking for a reason. Chet sort of "upgraded" the approach by using three fingers as a matter of course, but the basic style of playing basslines with the thumbpick in a manner that replicates "stride" piano is all Merle.

  • @insaneguitarfreak Chet himself said that Merle was the main influence on his guitar playing.

  • yep

  • The Master!!!!!!!!!

  • @whitt702 ,

    Thanks for the info.

  • @markomatijevic healthy LOL

    It kinda reminds me of chet atkins´ tone, clean with a some "slap" delay, maybe some little reverb too (and thumbpick obviously) but this is just my guess.

    (the tone of the guitar is very particular in itself though)

  • that sounds great,thanks for putting all these up.
