Default Whiskey Before Breakfast - Collings 01-A

Norman Blake is something special - this is his arrangement of a standard bluegrass tune. Wanted folks to hear this little Collings 01-A, Martin inspired guitar. Small, but i love how it handles a pick - your feedback is appreciated!

Great stuff. Love the arrangement and your usual fine playing. Love the sound of the guitar. I really like flatpicking on smaller guitars myself.

Nice! "Whiskey" is one of my favorite old time songs. In fact, the desire to learn this song flatpicked is one reason I contacted a guitar teacher this week to begin lessons in a few weeks. I've been learning fingerstyle from DVD's for the last 3 1/2 years, but I want to know how to do what you flatpickers know how to do. Thanks for the inspiration.
