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!
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
Hi, It’s just a very long wire arm for the Bigsby. You can see Merle Travis using the same thing in the video below. I’m no expert but it seems as though it’s designed for the mirror finger of the right hand. Interestingly, the Gibson Super 400 is a big guitar so the Bigsby unit would be quite a way from the bridge compared to other models which means that longer arm would create a different feel altogether on the vibrato than a normal Bigsby arm.
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..
Thirty minutes everyday, if you are old enough to drink a beer then that will help too! The first few months are pain but you will get it! Good luck, Joe from sunny Florida
I have tried so hard to learn this kind of picking it definitely is the hardest style out there in my opinion ill be damned i cant get it sometimes i can make it work 😂
I have been working on it 40 years. I can barely use a flat pick now. My inspiration was Terry Talbot. But anyway, force yourself to at least 10 or more minutes every day. Within a month you will feel and see progress. Its a hard earned skill.

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

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.

Thumbpicking guitar playing style video - Eddie Pennington!!
The Grandfather of Thumb picking!!
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.

Would you say this is easier to learn than regular style playing?
The Happy Hour Hound no
No way. It takes a long time to get real thumb independence.
So how do I contact you about some lessons?

If you want to thumb pick then do it. If you want to BS go to the barber shop!
62catfan, contact grampa's music st augustine fl, grampa murphy has a simple diagram that will show you how to play thumb style
