Very cool. Thankyou, Sir. Learned a heap.

Nice Instruction Easy To follow Along
I Look Farward To Viewing Other Vids

Good One … Thanks for sharing.

I completely agree that Del is an example of a guitar player who knows this. The best example in the modern world IMO. Another example is Tony Rice. He is well aware of where the holes are how to “mend” them. If you listen to “Take Me In Your Lifeboat”, by the Bluegrass Album Band, it’s clear that Tony has studied Lester’s playing. The two (voice and guitar), IMO, should “meld” together into one force that creates the illusion of one thing rather than two. There are others but those 2 jump out.

I’d like to add, although Del McCoury makes no attempt to play like Flatt, he is probably the best current example of using his guitar rhythm in “support” of his vocal. Just watch how he “flurries” and increases volume of his rhythm a bit at the end of every sung line, instead of playing a run or a lick every time. It’s almost like a snare drum ruffle. And he plays VERY little while he’s actually singing words.

Extremely well done! Both the E run and the use of the guitar to support vocals, with emphasis in the “holes”. Keep ‘em coming!
