You can listen to 100 people play cattle in the cane and Norman’s version is the only one that sounds like this. It’s so unique.

[@scottbaxendale323]

Norman’s right hand technique is second to none.

[@williambutler8624]

Norman Blake is one of the best flatpickers around, he makes it look so easy, his style is very unique, there is only one Norman Blake, love the guitars 🎸 too!

[@jbilly24]

Totally agree. He's on the Mt. Rushmore of flatpickers indeed!

[@752brickie]

Norman is one of the most amazing musicians that ever walked the planet !! Great job Norman and Nancy !!

[@scottbaxendale323]

I worked on this guitar right before Norman bought it. 1934 D-18S.

[@ghergen]

Great playing; magnificent guitars.

[@jeffloewi5632]

That right hand! Liquid gold. Without exaggeration I have watched and listened to this video 100 times, enough so that every note is ingrained within me. Today, after all that time I finally started playing it. It may take another 1000 times to get it right but if I live long enough I'll get it all.

There is no "right."

The GOAT…

[@r.b.somers2052]

Wow!

[@richardweiss6801]

He may play the lead but Nancy is the star

[@merlynschutterle7242]

She knows how to make him sound great.

[@richardweiss6801]

Totally agree.

[@jeriahjewell4966]

She’s a really great and underrated rhythm guitar player. She accents his playing so well.

[@leeblake3989]

Dad has always said that Nancy was a much better natural musician than he is.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

I love wide fretboards

Why did they all start clapping in middle of him playing?

[@tdub2888]

They switched songs, that bit was from cattle in the cane.

[@alicasoto4497]

they were applauding..

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

​@@tdub2888 but they clapped after the second B part. They should have clapped when he started cattle in the cane.

[@tdub2888]

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer Right you are, I had to watch again. Danged if I know then.

[@dmozell1]

Somebody was having such a good time they started clapping. Clapping is contagious.
