Scott is one of the most under appreciated guitarists ! I think he ranks right up with anyone who ever picked one up !! Thank you Scott for the beautiful music !
This is my all time favorite BG song; first heard it done by Norman Blake, but this is just so nice. I will listen to Scott a whole lot more, he's a giant.
tomb youth has a lot to do with it but also dedication. Hours and hours of sitting and playing. I play but I only took my abilities to a certain level and then stopped. Also some people are just natural gifted. I have family members like that. I had to struggle for what I learned but some members on my family doesnt have to practice long until that have it.
It is never too late! I’m 62 which means that I don’t sleep as much so used to. That opens up all kinds of practice hours for me. My bluegrass lead playing ability has shot through the roof in the past 9 months. I’m usually the strongest player at weekly bluegrass jams. One year ago I was not at that level.
Super playing and lovely guitar. Tells me I need to work on my pick technique. The way he holds it is rock solid and he goes right through the string. I think mine is much too floppy. Thanks for the inspiration to get better!
No doubt the right hand technique is the most important. He has a small lesson on TH-cam about how to strike the string with the pick. Basically you don't attack the pick straight up and down, but rather kind of at a slanted 45 degree angle or so. If you try that, you will find you can hold the pick pretty solid and still go right through the string. Hope this helps. Cheers
Are the specs for the fantastic sounding instrument anywhere to be found? I guess: Solid Red Spruce Top Solid East Indian Rosewood back & sides? (Or Brazilian?) 1 3/4" width bone nut Tru Vintage bone saddle No dot modified fretboard (width?) Modified V neck Mahogany neck? Enlarged Soundhole (4 9/16"?) What tuners are these? What is the bridge string spacing? What is the neck relief? What is the action at the 12th fret? Forward or rear shifted? How is it scalloped? What are the string nut angle and the string saddle break angles? Slotted bridge pins? Beautiful job on this recreation!
Superb playing. The guitar is awesome, but is it fair to say that it does sound quite a bit sharp? The high trebles kind of "bite". Is that maybe due to a brand new set of strings?
Tuning is usually a compromise to accommodate different keys on the guitar. I’ve recently discovered that dropping the high E and B strings a few cents from perfect works great on my guitar in bluegrass keys D C G.

The definition of “economy of motion”....well done Sir.
The sound gets even better with Glenlivet 18!!
Wow, never heard whiskey played like that before!!,
Love both of those arrangements
Brilliant. I love this music, and this guitar beautifully executed with soul by a true master.
Lots of great ideas in there! Sounds good.
Wow. Just wow. I play a little but at my age I will never be able to reach this level of perfection. Wish I could buy his talent. Nicely done sir.
do you think you could have if you were young? he is awesome.

Outstanding
What became of this guitar?
Great job
Is this a Brazilian guitar? Sounds great and Scott’s a fine picker!
Wonderful
Very nice pickin!
Drop D?
Some of the best pickin I've ever heard.
Wow!
This is DADGAD tuning, correct?
Standard tuning for red-haired boy. Just drop D for whiskey before breakfast
best whiskey before breakfast out there
Keep in tuned
Wish he had tuned up a little better, he's quite off. However it's great and interesting what Mr.Fore does here, a lot to learn from him.
