  • Can anybody identify this guitar, who made it?

  • @SmithsonianFolkways you should add "Lesson" to the title and/or tags. We gotta keep this music alive and this is a great lesson from the man himself!

  • 10 years practice, then try the melody.

  • oh and doc if you can hear me theres away you can play with that 5th string;)

  • you only need 3 fingers...

  • That was the best....

    

  • my god, he makes it look easy.

  • Great instructional video. Thanks a million!

  • @AmericanDiaz: This video is about Doc Watson, and isn't the appropriate place for protesting the alleged "crimes" you mention...
