A friend of mine wanted to know , yeah that's it, a friend
What exactly is "flatpicking"? I am thinking along the liones of bluegrass guitar, but I'm probably wrong. Anybody want to educate me?

As far as I know it's playing ANY style of music while using a flatpick. But then, what the hell do I know about flatpicks?

NFP,
Why are you trying to answer this question? Flatpicking is using the pick to not only stum but to play individual strings/notes while cording to ad color, melodies, riffs, etc.

I'm not an expert on any one style, but bluegrass is the most common example of "flatpicking," where as SteveS mentioned, you are using a flat pick to pick and strum. Also, think of Johnny Cash and his style of thumping bass notes, strumming treble half-chords, all done with a flat pick.
Mandolins are generally played in flatpicking style, while banjos are generally played in fingerpicking style. Clear as mud?

Basically, flatpicking is using a pick without strumming, ie playing one string at a time. The same as fingerpicking but with a pick.

Flatt Pickin' is playing a guitar in the key of Lester. Also known as Lesterizing a guitar. For some good examples of this, go find yourself some Foggy Mountain Boys music and Bile them Cabbage Down!!!!
