Flatpicking a medley of songs on my Aria AD-80

Flatpicking a medley of songs on my Aria AD-80 using my Kodak digital camera's video feature.
I no longer own this guitar, as it was sold a few years ago in order to downsize my guitar collection.

Thanks for watching!

@Patriksundvik

I think around $600 or so. Hard to remember it was so long ago since I've had it.

Flatpicking in the strictest sense is not just using a flatpick to strum with. It is picking out the melody and sometimes encasing the melody in the chord structure at the same time, like the Carter method. Another style of flatpicking is cross-picking, which picks the melody, but also picks strings around it in between the melody in the chord form. Hard to describe without an example. And yes, some people don't know how to use a flatpick...some fingerpickers, for example.
