Wildwood Flower

Here is the Carter Family classic Wildwood Flower. A simple melody that lends itself well to crosspicking. If you're unfamiliar with crosspicking it's just a fancy word used to describe the process of simulating a banjo roll with a flatpick. In its simplest form the picking pattern generally starts with a downstroke and alternates from there. It gets a little more involved once you start branching out to multiple strings.

Very helpful, thank you. Can you please share what guitar that is (hd28lsv?) and what strings you used? Thanks.

The guitar is a Santa Cruz Tony Rice model with D'Addario EJ17 strings.

Which fret is that clamp on? Do you have to play that tune with the clamp or is it optional?
