Cliff, the difference between Chet and the rest of us is that ...Eric Clapton thinks he's god! (I never heard of him saying it, I just think it's true-ish. :cool: )

Location: North Carolina | I saw Chet play "Yankee Doodle" and "Dixie" at the same time. Kinda had a Mason/Dixon thing going with the Bass/Treble strings. Let's face it, Chet was a freak! His thumb and fingers each had their own little brain. He was also very gracious, helping many up and coming artists get their foot in the door. |

Location: Flushing, MI | Hybrid picking - yes! My dad wanted me to be a jazzy player and use a pick. He thought of that Chet/Merle stuff as being old fashioned. He caught me trying to fingerpick one day and I seriously thought I was going to get an ass beating over it! So, I developed my hybrid picking technique as a means to accomodate both styles into my playing. Sorry Dad. |
