Do it! The Carter thing feels awkward at first, but then becomes very natural - not having a pick between you and the strings gives you more of a feeling of connection to your buddy! That being said, if it's just too dang tough to do it fingerstyle it sounds great pick-style too!

Eric this is is such a hauntingly beautiful (mini-master)piece. I hope to master it and develop it (e.g., find other voicings and runs). Thanks! I bought the pdf and it helps a ton. That a metronome. Ha

Eric, no other guitar teaching channel that I've seen so far on KZread comes close to yours when it comes to quality content. Thank you for sharing an always tasteful, eclectic and constant amount of guitar lessons. It has helped me so much in my learning process and it has also showed me new ways of playing that otherwise I doubt I would've ever come across. I was wondering, after seeing your incredible Marc Ribot tutorials, if you would consider to record a guitar lesson of one of Jody Harris' or Robert Quine's songs. That would be mind blowing! Hope you're doing well and keep up the amazing work!

Eric Haugen I got to see them was at the old Ryman theatre in downtown Nashville before they moved it. This was around 2007 maybe 2006 It was the last show they ever had at the original Ryman for years after. It was Gillian welch and David Rawlings with Emmy Lou harris and Elvis Costello. The show was def one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed. I got there late and missed the original show I had tickets for, I was devastated after just driving 12 hrs with a gal I didn’t know too well.. they told me they were doing a secret set after tho for a smaller crowd and let me and my friend attend. We went back to the car for more ‘party favors’ and then went back. I’ll never forget it because I had jus gotten a gram parsons tattoo about a year before this. When they came out they did all flying burrito brothers and gram parsons solo songs and then closed with an Elvis cover. Amazing . David was wearing an original nudie suit too that Marty Robbins had loaned him for the show.
