The musicianship exhibited by the guitarists and other
instruments within bluegrass is stunning. The more I listen
the more I put time and effort into becoming a flatpicker
myself. The speed, clarity, and expression that the bluegrass
greats play with their trusty flat top acoustics are more impressive
to me than any distorted, delayed, or crunched electric. Don’t get
me wrong, amazing guitar playing in any genre is impressive but the
two that I gravitate to is fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar.
