  • THIS is country music! What in the world happened to genuine, honest, sincere music? Man, I miss it.

  • At 2:40 when Earl looks at Maybelle and smiles it's a verification from Maybelle that he got it right.

    The Carter's and the Scrugg's were neighbors, and Maybelle had a great influence on their guitar playing, especially Earl's and Randy's guitar playing.

  • It doesn't get any better than this.

    Ken, Toronto

  • great video! Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem saving this to there favorites?

    It says it was saved, but isn't there when I check the playlist.

  • @gnut1977 Nope, I saw Merle Haggard and the Strangers playing it a few weeks ago.

  • the best flat picking i ever seen on a flat-top, very good earl

  • Exquisite guitar playing, esp. for a TV show...

  • This is beautiful. So is the dobro-player in the background :: the very handsome Josh Graves :: also the finest dobro player of all time. Always will be.

  • This was one of the songs that Maybelle used a flat pick to play. Maybelle played 3 different styles on guitar (the Carter Scratch - thumb picking melody and one to 2 fingers plying rythm, her flat pick style as on "You are my Flowr", and up pick using her fore finger to pick upward on the higher strings while picking down with thumb as in "The Cannonball Blues". I think that Earl does so well because part of Maybelle's playing came from the fact she also played banjo.

  • Such a pure delight.

  • I once borrowed a D-28 from a friend so my wife could sing You Are My Flower at an open mic. After we finished he said,"I've had that guitar for thirty years and that's the first time the capo's ever been at the 7th fret."

    Anyone know the story behind Earl's truss rod cover?
