Favorite Flatpickers

I like Jerusalem Ridge, written by Bill for the guitar. Seems like a "must know" tune to me.
I enjoy playing and learning fiddle tunes, especially those with minor chords.

Martin, Thompson, Collings, Santa Cruz, Dude's, and many others
Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
I enjoy getting together and playing bluegrass music, it just feels good...

About my Guitar

I play a Thompson (Preston Thompson) guitar that was completed in December 1985. The bracing is designed after an original 1937 Martin D-28 (Charles Sawtell's). Here's a picture, I'll post the specs later:

Here's a close up of the headstock which shows the new logo Preston started using when he moved his shop in 1984, to Bend, Oregon.

Hey Jack - I was so busy the past couple of days I didn't get a chance to check in here to the site. We went last night and it was good concert. Bensusan was with three guitarist. I would have liked to heard more of just him but it was still cool. I might try to go out to Dave Blakeslee's on Saturday to pick up a couple of his old Martins. Do you want to go? It will probably take a couple of hours.

Jack - Did you all see that Pierre Bensusan is at the Tower Theatre on Tuesday. I saw him the very first time he played in the U.S. in Vermont in 1979. I think he was maybe 19 years old. Do you want to go. We are going to get tickets today. Give me a call,

Preston

Hey Jack, I had fun picking with you too. Wish I got to do that kind of stuff more often. I'm off to Pocatello, Idaho for the weekend of the 23rd, but thanks for the invite.

Dan, Going through in detail now, and came to this point again. You diagram on p.67 makes the similarity of the C and D forms clear. Another way I have seen these box patterns named that I also find useful is name them 'string-finger' according to…

been awhile since Jed asked the pick question, so probably doesn't care by now, but when i went to a Beppe workshop some years ago, he was using the Dunlop 500 (not the tortex, but the glossy model), pink one... .98 thickness.
