    Thanks for this video. You've gotta love Riley Puckett. My grandfather was a popular fiddle player in his day, pre-WWI through through the 1930s, playing for square dances in NE Oklahoma. . My father, uncles, and my grandfather all played old time fiddle music. My uncle told me they played skillet Licker records while visiting their grandfather"s house in the 1930s. I regret that as a kid in the 1960s at home my siblings and I mocked my Dad for playing and listening to what we, at the time, thought was old moldy "hick" music. Boy, how I love this music now. Thankfully I have lots of videos of my Dad in his later years scratching out these old tunes.

    So, I picked up your large file with videos and multiple pdfs of tabs the other day. It took me a half a day to download all of them. May I suggest that you do some ebooks on Asa Martin, Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Harvey & Edgar Boaz, etc?

    Great KZread channel, I enjoy playing this style on a Jim dandy, great mid range tone on it. Being an Australian living in the U.K. I jam with a couple of English guys every Friday evening, and they just don't get it! This style of playing is totally alien to them

    I'd never heard this one before. Amazing! I thought I had heard all the Gid/Riley duets from 1924 but I guess not. Where'd you get the recording? Is this the original 78?

    Awesome. I've been a fan of Mother Maybelle's guitar playing for over 60 years. She was a wonderful guitarist who is often overlooked, and definitely under-rated. The simplicity of her beautiful picking is deceptive. Because it goes hand-in-hand with her vocal harmonies with Sara Carter, and the combination is impossible to replicate, no matter how advanced a player you are.

    Hey Lee! Nice to hear from you. Very cool to hear you are named after Mother Maybelle. In fact, I got my Century of Progress from your dad when I visited about a year ago. It would be great to connect... feel free to drop me a line through my website cameronknowler.com

    I bought this, as well as many of your lesson packs. I think they are so worth it. People out there, but them! They are fantastic. My only question is.. you often have a verse then a solo. Can I assume that the verse it basically the way it's played throughout the song? Thanks!

  • @ruralguitar
    @ruralguitar5 ай бұрын

    Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm very pleased to hear you've been enjoying the lesson materials. And yes, you are absolutely correct - I often add variations as a way for folks to 'dress up' the standard verses.
