I spent the summer of 2017 in Ogden and was in the audience for this workshop (and Tim O'Brien's and Pete Wernick's workshops). Bryan is a wonderful human being and did a great job here. I was the person who volunteered to go back to Ogden and retrieve Pete's Gibson banjo at his hotel and brought it back to him (he trusted me to do that!). Cheers to all of you Hot Rize fans!

Bryan Sutton is one of my favorite bluegrass artists of the time.

This man is as good a teacher as he is a guitarist.

matthrlw1 it is! I like how he didn't know the history of the guitar but surmised it anyways.

Bryan is a freak of nature! Damn what a picker, that old d28 is a beast!

Fantastic education.

Good consideration of wrist tension in guitar players. Also speaks to repetitive motion problems. What contributes to them and how to mitigate it.

I’ll take his word for it

unbelievable

perfect sounding guitar for flatpicking

David Grier got to spend a week with YOU. Kidding I love Dave.

Ultimate pro

Great stuff. Thanks for posting. Intrigued by his last comment ...... "I spend a week with David Grier..." - tell me more! Did you get that bit?

Andy Mackenzie unfortunately I didn't I was working a booth at the festival and had to head back. I'll check with others that were there and see if anyone caught that for you though.

Would also like to know what Bryan and Yukon Cornelius talked about...

Seems like he’s playing it almost twice as fast as Tony.. I think Tony sets a perfect tempo for this tune. Not too fast but without any drag.

..he's getting better 🙄

I feel like he only really explained why it's good to be loose but not how to loosen up. I am struggling with this issue on both the bluegrass flatpicking and death metal side of things

I COMPLETELY get it, MFM. Death metal is played on a Kramer-like axe with (most of the times) super low gauge strings. Bluegrass is completely different. I find I have to be way looser in Bluegrass than Rock, even with a Strat. Also, the range of motion of the pick is smaller in metal. I would say focus on one. It will be VERY difficult to master both.

@@mf5202 agreed. Projection and volume is pretty much a non issue on electric instruments and many electric only players don't even realize it's a developable skill

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer Indeed. You only know this if you've really tried. I cannot go back to speed electric as 1) I bend the strings out of the fret on the super light gauge. thin neck speedsters :) 2) the range of motion and strength of picking is different. 3) am not a pro anymore so don't have the time to master both. Rock on!

The quintessential flat-picker.

If anyone knows of a better flatpicker, or even one who's on par... let's have the person's name. (Mark O'Connor has the talent to be, but listen to Sutton's fluidity!)

O'Connor himself has said that Sutton has surpassed his generation of guitarists - that's quite an endorsement!

Joshua Tate Ricky Skaggs said that when Cody Kilby told him he was leaving Kentucky Thunder, Cody and Bryan both recommended Jake Workman as his replacement.

Love his smooth fluid picking but sometimes less notes is more! David
