Peter Wilkinson replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?
"Hi William, Sorry to take so much time in replying. I've seen the Taylor Dan Crary signature model, and was very impressed with it's sound. Every flatpicker should listen to Dan Crary - his tone and musicianship is outstanding. I suspect…"

Peter Wilkinson replied to Lane Rudiger's discussion OM guitars and flatpicking?
"I had a Martin OM21 a few years ago, and it was a great guitar for bluegrass. Bass runs sounded fine and it competed volumewise with other dreadnoughts, although I've heard a few OM guitars lose volume on the bottom two strings. I feel that the…"

Peter Wilkinson replied to William Gray's discussion Heavy Picks Anyone?
"I've been using Wegen picks for quite a while now, and I can't imagine using anything else. As you probably know Wegen started out by making very thick picks for gypsy jazz players, and now make a complete range, including bluegrass guitar…"

Peter Wilkinson replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?
"I play a Taylor 510 (1997) for flatpicking, and because I liked it so much I also bought a Taylor 514C (1998) which seems equally adept at both fingerpicking and flatpicking. I suffer from mild arthiritis in my hands and found the Taylor's neck…"

Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
I'm 62 and have recently retired. I'm enjoying the time following a number of pursuits, including spending more time on guitar. I work for a number of local wildlife sites voluntarily. Have started to transcribe Northumbrian pipe tunes for mandolin and guitar. They sound great on a Baby Taylor guitar - have you tried flatpicking on a smaller guitar?

Tom Faux replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?
"I recently came across a steel string parlor guitar made by P. Benson, in Minneapolis.  It's really a nice little instrument--well built, comfortable, very much like an old Martin 00-18 (mahogany, slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, ladder…"

Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?
"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"

Ragtime Annie

"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…"
