Subject: RE: Odetta's Guitar Style
As I recall it, it was quite basic.
1) while holding an E chord---with you thumb: hit the 6th string--then the 5th string.
2) a quick up stroke brush with the first finger---then a quick down stroke brush---and come to a stop.
3) repeat.
This was diagrammed and in a frame on the wall of Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music about 1959.
