IMO, Al is one of the finest guitarists on this planet! I never can understand the "thumb down" rating. If you don't like it, don't listen. But, if you play the guitar at ANY level, you must appreciate his awesome talent! Great job!
It will because he isn't actually giving any lessons he's just showing off his skills which only adds to frustrate a player new to this style and tuning. I would of liked to have seen how to play the shady grove song in DADGAD but could not even see the chords he was holding down, not that I would recognise them anyway. Like you say great guitar player but on here people are looking for tuition.
Craggy Pinnacle - Songs: John Henry, Sitting on Top of the World, I Am a Pilgrim, Going Down the Road Feelin’ Bad, Wondrous Love, Wayfaring Stranger, Shady Grove, Pretty Polly, Reuben’s Train and Craggy Pinnacle.
"Craggy Pinnacle" is the tune name. Named after a hiking trail near Asheville NC I think. As to m Music style - Al calls it Appalachian in his video. I hear Celtic influences, which would make sense due to the early settlers in some of the mountain areas.
I personally wouldn’t call it app style because a lot of people didn’t have formal lessons back in the early 1900s so they had to figure out how to play so I assume they had many styles. In my mind calling it appalachian sytle guitar is like calling roundpeak style banjo the only way the mountain people played banjo. No hate tho.

@@Wizzy-Waywellguys gotta make a living! Sound it out-quit bitching
what a beautiful warm sound
Love it superb playing. 😊👍
Song at tne end is called Craggy Pinnacle - it's an old banjo tune. Sounds a bit like Shady Grove, but it's not the same thing.

Nice nice sound and feel on the instrument
Been waiting for this DVD for months!
Thanks Al and Happy. And everyone else involved :)
Well done. Your guitar has unusually nice tone and punch..... I canst see from the video who made it...??
Al Pettaway is a great musician. Not a show off. You can hear him on some of Ken Burns documentaries. I think the one about the National Parks.
can someone please point me in the direction to the Tabs for al petteway Shady grove,
That was sweet. :-)
What's the name of the song at the end? I can't quite make it out

So easy that I learn't to play it with my toes for more of a challenge.
Guitar is easy.Learn the true master's instrument. The Kazoo!
Or The Triangle if you're feeling brave!
Or the true gentleman's instrument... the slide whistle!
what is the name of the song nearing the end of this video,? as other viewers have asked? and is that style called "Appalachian? " Anyone ? THanks.

Thanks much , (itdoesntmatter)
For sending that link ! It really helped.
Any song recommendations sounding like that?
The song is actually called Shady Grove. I like Doc Watson's version. :)
'Matty Groves'..(Fairport Convention version) sounds a little similar!
^..^
Al Petteway! No shit!

This seems more like a show-off video than an instructional video.
All Homespun videos are. They spend more time showing off than they do teaching, and they never give you any theoretical foundation to build from.
Where in the title does it say it’s an instructional video?
@@WillieBeard @Phil B It says it in the video at 33 seconds in. Why try to be an ass?

@Phil B Shit, go off and look goofy. Nobody but you thinks it's cute
is this a tutorial ?? don't think so...
This is (I'm gonna go out on a limb here) most likely a preview of a full lesson, available for purchase.
Where in the title does it say ‘tutorial’?
Nice wig

+Sin cityamps Very well said friend. I agree.
+David John San Nicolas I agree with you, David.
+Schuylemagne I ,,,lol,, regardless of wig , Al picks a wicked guitar
