The Makings of a Master, Kentucky Thumbpicking Guitar, Eddie Pennington (master)

Anyone know what that crazy looking loop sticking out of Eddie's guitar is? I can't tell if it's a mic to capture the plunking of strings, or a fancy form of a tremolo arm for the Bigsby on his (f'ing gorgeous) Gibson guitar

Wow..:)

I really enjoyed this history lesson, I had the advantage of Elden Shamblin, it shows in my Arkansas style. But I love all you guys.

The Grandfather of Thumb picking!!

If you want to thumb pick then do it. If you want to BS go to the barber shop!

When he added the bass notes to My Old Kentucky Home, it brought tears to my eyes.

There is a lesson with Tommy Emmanuel, who explains how to learn this style. That how I learned it, worked out pretty well I think.

Nice interview. I got a flashback when he mentioned Don Grace. I purchased my first guitar and amplifier from Don when he had Grace's Music in Madisonville, KY. Don was good picker! I wish I had taken some lessons from Don!

I'm trying to learn fingerpicking , any tips? What song to try that's easy for starters? I'm in Somerset ky, . Can't find anyone like you guys over here to take lesson's from. Thanks. You make it look easy. Trying Freight Train but it not easy when my Thumb will not work like it should..
