I do not dispute TMC’s research. She was a skilled fingerpicker though.

Goodbye to the brilliant🎸 fingerpicker Wizz Jones. Learning from Ramblin' Jack Elliott in the 1950s he held his own with any of the folk music greats. He knew the Piedmont style of Brownie McGhee and had "the right hand of Big Bill Broonzy". A modest man with massive talent. And many, many friends.

I thought Townes Van Zandt was a good fingerpicker, but only wrote about death & lost love. Well, not too far off, but I found some lilting gems like this eventually.

He thinks he's the best living fingerpicker since Chet passed and he is incorrect. Most famous, possibly, but not best.

Great news to wake up to: @sfearingmusic.bsky.social has joined Bluesky! He's an immaculate fingerpicker and writer with a warm, rich baritone. And he takes a dandy photo. Give him a welcome!

This movie was so formative for me. I ended up a life long lover of blues and R&B music. In 1984 I bought my first four blues albums: Albert King, Live Wire/Blues Power; Muddy Waters, Hard Again; Blind Blake, Ragtime Guitar's Foremost Fingerpicker, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Couldn't Stand the Weather.
And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 63 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s: and it's an amusing investigation into the byways of American music, thanks to a pair of guides named Joliet Jake and Elwood...ladies and gentlemen, it's June 1980's THE BLUES BROTHERS!
All right, here goes: in preparation for a book I'm writing, I'm going to try something very ambitious/stupid. I am going to attempt to watch every single American movie produced in the 1980s. In chronological order of release. And to talk about them here in the process.

I'm a good fingerpicker at guitar and banjo but not at bass on bass I gotta use a pick and the pick kept flying out of my hands against the gigantic bass strings so I cut little pieces of sandpaper and superglued them to both sides of the guitar pick and now I wish I would have done it 40 years ago

When I want to work on rhythm I listen to a lot of Spooner Oldham. And work on pieces with metronome starting with alternating thumb pattern only, then add the other fingers (that might help if you’re a fingerpicker).
