[joeland1972]

Can anybody identify this guitar, who made it?

[J0hnnyH3mps33d]

@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!

[drummer66y]

10 years practice, then try the melody.

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