GUEST,Les B Help: Carter scratch guitar technique (11) RE: Help: Carter scratch guitar technique 15 Nov 00


The Lomax collection of songs "Folk Songs of North America" (I think that's the one -- I'm not at home) has a short, clear explanation of the "Carter scratch," plus a number of other picking styles for both guitar and banjo, in its appendices. That's where I got started on folk picking about 30 years ago.
