Carter Family Medley, performed by Wayne Henderson

Carter Family Medley, performed by Wayne Henderson(www.waynehenderson.org). In concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions(www.imtfolk.org) Monday Night Concert, Rockville, MD, USA on May 10th, 2010.
Wayne Henderson's top-notch finger-picking is a source of great pleasure and pride to his friends, family, and neighbors in Grayson County, Virginia; his guitar playing has also been enjoyed at Carnegie Hall, in three national tours of "Masters of the Steel-String Guitar," and in seven nations in Asia. In addition to his reputation as a guitarist, Henderson is a luthier of great renown. He is a recipient of a 1995 National Heritage Award presented by the National Endowment for the Arts. He produces about 20 instruments a year, mostly guitars, but he is almost as well-known for the mandolins he has made.
As always, we gratefully thank the Maryland State Arts Council (www.msac.org), the Montgomery County Arts & Humanities Council (www.creativemoco.com), and all our other donors, supporters, and volunteers.

God gave him a double(maybe a triple) portion of TALENT! That was fantastic...on the guitar built by the same great hands! Wouldn't I LOVE to take guitar lessons from him?

[@tedpeterson1156]

Lesser guitars just sound like chipmunks on helium with a capo on the 7

[@mrdogmoon]

I sure would like to have one of them Henderson guitars!

[@paulinefiddle]

[@stevelezan4341]

Wow, nice sounding guitar and great picking.

[@valeriegriner5644]

Oh, yeah! The guitar builder/musician. I just LOVE him (and his custom guitars, too!)

[@yoebutt]

Thanks Wayne. Just fabulous.

[@robertharris2018]

I noticed that Wayne didn't look up until he got to Wildwood Flower. The reason for this is because he has played it so many times that it's in his heart. Like a lot of us, it's probably the first tune he ever learned to pick.

[@PeterNGloor]

Wayne is Tops! And - a well-done video this is, too

[@SuperOlds88]

Those are some talented hands.

[@philippegoby5576]

Superbement bien joué 😇✌👍

[@zymelin21]

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

Wayne shore can pick.

[@battlehrfred]

wow!! thats Wayne Henderson on his own built guitar. lovely!!! does he build f style Mandolins?

[@chrispierce1739]

He has built mandolins in the past. There are some videos of them on KZbin if you search. Expect a long waiting time to have an instrument built by Wayne.

[@battlehrfred]

Ok ty for the information. well i am just a regular person,( im not Steve Earles Brother or any popular player) so i would definitely be very very far down on the totem pole list as to a possible customer. ty Sir

[@markballard9300]

Nope, that's a Wayne Henderson guitar. He's one of the most sought after guitar builders around

[@ronvonryan]

If you order one of his guitars be prepared to wait about 10 years for it.

[@loadi2865]

th anks....

[@ollarik]

Is that a top of the line ol' Mossman guitar he's playing here?

[@keiranbradley3222]

+ollarik It's a Guitar he built himself, he is one if not the best luthier out there, Peace.

[@valeriegriner5644]

It's a Henderson...built by the musician himself!
