maybe someone knows it i think its tennesee flat top box it has a great acoustc picking pattern would love to learn it.


Dennis you got the name right, and it was recorded by Rosanne Cash. That acoustic part isn't that hard to learn. I think they capoed at the 4th fret and played a C progression, so it's actually the key of E but with a capo.

My most recent obsession with fast picking is what Zac Brown does near the end of "Mary". It may not be nearly as impressive to someone who can play and play well. I can't get youtube to load for some reason but I think this is it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW8w11gs068. The whole song is good if you like that kind of music but at about the 1:30 mark is what I am talking about.


Hey KFS1972,
That whole album is a blast, I like the picking on "It's not OK" too. I'm almost sure Brent Mason is picking that tele.

Dire Strait's "Sultans of Swing" doesn't have a solo break like a lot of songs but is good all the way thru with a bit of a solo toward the end


Mark Knophler is a great picker too, and he used hybrid picking on that one. You should check out the stuff he recorded with Chet Atkins. He has also penned quite a few country hits, but they were mostly recorded by other artist.

Joe Perry is another great guitar player, had the pleasure of picking a couple of tunes with him at a music store in Nashville once. He and Tyler were picking up a few things, when they played a concert there in the early 90s.

Well, I could spend all day on this one, but I have to do some work too. Have a good one, and keep loading that Ipod.
