Doc Watson - Mole In The Ground (Live 1978)

[@andrewboore3899]

Doc's clawhammer technique is a thing of beauty, so gentle but nice and loud and his meoldy notes are CLEAN AF! Amazing!

The double thumbing is fantastic

[@ErickvdK]

​@@parkinglotparticlebeamLooks like drop thumbing to me, double thumbing is done on drone string, me thinks...😊

[@jakebryan1988]

I just started learning clawhammer, and almost every beginners lesson I find says it’s absolutely imperative that you don’t pluck with your thumb, and then here’s doc plucking away and it sounds great. Haha

[@woutvo2726]

Shit wait what? No plucking with the thumb? What am I doing wrong :(

This song is mentioned in the book Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier on page 380. Doc was a very special musician.

Electric Bass has NO place in acoustic music especially Doc Watson's.

[@blueridger28]

Doc was the boss, he must of wanted it in there. Michael Coleman played with Doc for years.

Unfortunate about that intrusive bass-ruins Doc's performance-no respect.
