Lester Flatt-style rhythm guitar on YouTube

Chris Sharp

Guitarists in old-time, bluegrass, and traditional country music who want to be able to play rhythm guitar in the thumb-and-fingerpicks style used by the great Lester Flatt (before, during, and after his epoch-making partnership with Earl Scruggs) can now learn from Chris Sharp on YouTube, where his Studio 607 Productions has a series of instructional videos, each of about seven or eight minutes.

Chris Sharp's teaching is based on close observation of the Lester Flatt style at first hand. Learn how Lester did his famous G runs, the rhythm patterns he used on different songs, and much more! The videos can also be seen on Chris's MySpace site. Thanks to the original Bluegrass Blog for this information.
