Christopher J. Davis replied to Marty Henrickson's discussion 'String suggestions'

I used to play with coated strings all the time, on account of having acidic perspiration. A non-coated set will usually last me three days, and I go to school for music so I would end up going through lots of strings. I've heard about people taki...

Marty Henrickson commented on Paige Anderson's group 'Martin Guitar Owners'

Man, it was a tough choice - between the D-28 Clarence White model that I bought, and the D-18GE that I didn't - about a year ago. My being so heavily into Clarence at the time probably pushed me to the D-28CW. Ironically, most of his recorded stu...

Marty Henrickson replied to Stefan Jadefjord's discussion 'Holding the pick'

I agree that there's always an exception to the rule, but most teachers advise the "proper" pick grip for a reason - more control - as Brian stated earlier. I was faced with this problem about a year ago, although I had not flatpicked much at the ...

Marty Henrickson replied to Steve Alexander's discussion 'Describing your practise sessions' in the group Taking It To The Next Level

Amen to that, not to mention the kids! My wife calls it "doin' that tinka-tinka-plinka-plinka stuff". I really could use a music room.....

Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)

I'm 30-something years old and I'm married with 1 beautiful wife, 2 beautiful daughters, and 3 spoiled dogs. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years. I've listened to bluegrass-ish music most of my life, but I just started flatpicking fairly recently. I took lessons from the "very underrated flatpicker" (quoting Tony Rice) Glenn Tolbert for about 6 months. I live in Woodstock, Alabama, and until recently, I worked at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Vance, Alabama to pay the bills.
