9 Lester Flatt Style Rhythm Guitar Taught By Chris Sharp E Run and Basic Dynamics

This lesson extends what we have been learning about the E chord and introduces the E Run which is a version of the G Run played out of E position. In addition we cover basic dynamics (using the guitar as a tool to fill in the gaps created by phrasing in vocals and pauses between verses and choruses). I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and best wishes from Studio 607 here in Johnson City. Please feel free to contact me at chrissharp80@hotmail.com if you have any questions or if you are interested in taking lessons via webcam. Also, please visit the websites at www.chrissharpmusic.net and www.myspace.com/chrissharpmusic . I have several CD's for sale with some top notch musicians (including Earl Scruggs, John Hartford, Josh Graves, Kenny Baker, Stuart Duncan, Mike Compton, etc...)

Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate it as it validates what I'm doing here.

@CARROLLCTYDOBROGIRL Josh was not only a friend, but one of the greatest musicians and teachers I've had the pleasure to know.

I completely agree that Del is an example of a guitar player who knows this. The best example in the modern world IMO. Another example is Tony Rice. He is well aware of where the holes are how to "mend" them. If you listen to "Take Me In Your Lifeboat", by the Bluegrass Album Band, it's clear that Tony has studied Lester's playing. The two (voice and guitar), IMO, should "meld" together into one force that creates the illusion of one thing rather than two. There are others but those 2 jump out.
