Dynamics...
String skipping... Palm muting... Rhythmic acuity... Lyrical and soulful... Total MASTERY of technique.

well Trey would probably try to whoop me if I said he was the best, but he is a dang fine flatpicker and here is him and Rob playing a Grateful Dead tune so it kinda fits the theme of this thread. And I just like the way they do this one.

John Doyle is great player, though I might have chosen a different headline for this thread. I don't understand slamming Billy Strings by saying, "He's no Tony Rice." Who said that he was? He is, however, an outstanding player. Personally, when it comes to traditional flat picking, there's probably no one I'd rather listen to than Robert Bowlin. If you haven't done so already, get hold of a copy of Six String Soliloquy. You'll be glad you did. Although, if we're talking about anyone who wields a flat pick, Julian Lage is, I think, a singular talent in the steel string world.

I think what this thread has shown me is that appreciation of music is very much down to one's cultural paradigms... which are probably determined by one's genetic paradigms.
I can always appreciate, and applaud, skill in almost any musical genre. My inheritance is the Celtic/ Scottish/ Irish tradition, which of course may not jibe ( or is it "jive" ) with other cultures. For example I can see (and have in fact always known) from the video posted above, that Al di Meola is a stunningly accomplished guitarist. Would I ever pay to go and see him ? Never ... his playing does nothing for me, irrespective of how technically accomplished he is. On the traditional (bluegrass) front, there is no question that Billy Strings is the enfant terrible of flatpicking .... I tremble to think how good he will be when he is the same age as Bryan Sutton ... Molly Tuttle is also superb ... great crosspicking technique (as also has David Grier) . I would be the first to admit that John Doyle's flatpicking does not involve crosspicking in the traditional sense ... is it the worse for that ?? who knows.It's a whole different language. I am going to attach a quirky little video of John Doyle playing a house concert in Edinburgh which I attended. He was joined at the end by the legendary Cathal McConnell on tin whistle for a set of reel tunes. This was totally unrehearsed ... note how John feels his way through the first few tunes and then goes full tilt at 4.56

I've never seen anyone who can flat pick while singing like this kid... I think he's amazing. Great songwriting too.

I always thought that the great Chet Atkins was a flat picker. But watching YouTube videos it appears that he used a thumb-pick and either finger picked with it or used just the thumb-pick.
Regardless, go listen and watch Chet play it's magical.

Oh yeah, The Milk Carton Kids...those guys are amazing... Joey Ryan on the 1951 J-45 and Kenneth Pattingale on a vintage 1954 Martin 0-15, I believe...he says he ties a handkerchief around the lower frets to prevent buzzing, and he sure can pick...
