I'm in agreement with the concensus about what Crosspicking is and feel that the use of the term by Flint is unfortunately confusing.

I'd like to add that in my book, the all time master of crosspicking guitar is Clarence White. If you haven't heard it, seek out his Listen to the Mockingbird recording with the Kentucky Colonels from the 60s album entitled "Appalachian Swing"...it was reissued on CD. Rounder CD SS 31.

Also, James Alan Shelton is doing his a great job maintaining the George Shuffler style of crosspicking as he plays with Ralph Stanley. He and George recorded a CD together with all crosspicking called, "The Legacy Continues".
