Hi Sandman,

I hope to come out with a future video showing how to employ fill-ins and intros/outros to this style. Actually Pete does use a three fingered approach reminiscent of say a picker like
Obray Ramsay or Charlie Poole but he does this sparingly. The most important aspect of banjo picking when you are singing is the song. Anything that distracts from communicating this is irrelevant and often detrimental.

For a good example of his accompaniment style I recommend his first ten inch album for Folkways called Darlin' Corey. It's available on CD.

Pete's approach has always been simple, direct and never distracting from the song.
Also his sense of dynamics is the key to his song leading. His playing enables people to want to sing along.
