Craig Kent said… - Yea, Paul. I call it Mother Maybelle style but it's pretty common and straight forward. Why do you ask?

- I have the same dvd by Dix. Lot of alternating bass in it. Mother Maybelle style is what I like to play. Just a beginner and probably too old to learn much else. Being from the South, I have heard it since I can remember. I have a Epiphone masterbilt and hummingbird and a Martin DX1. Got a great deal on the Martin from a pawn shop and couldn't turn it down but the I would pick the Masterbilt over it anyday.

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
