A closer look at using the crosspicking technique invented by George Shuffler and used by countless bluegrass luminaries…

I'm still a little more than a beginner but I've always listened to this style of music, plus I warped my 5 string,I presheateit

Man alive ! You sure make that Martin guitar sing !!

[@gregfelice1969]

Jack, what model guitar is that? Looks like a OOO-28, but wasn't sure -- Thanks.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Close OM-28E. So longer scale (just a bit) and it’s got some electronics. I used it because I could record it into my looper.

[@gregfelice1969]

@@jacksnax4guitar460 sounds nice. I have a 00-28, D-18, HD-28V. I thought that was smaller bodied than a D, yet sounded really full. Cheers.

[@uberjam-sam8512]

Yet another brilliant master class. Thanks Jack! I came back to this lesson having worked on my cross picking with fiddle tunes and was excited to see how much more it flowed. This lesson really helped me to get started and this tune is one that I look forward to mastering. You are a great player and an important inspiration for me. What you said about Cross picking helping all aspects of playing is as they say on the 💰

Wow! Just stumbled on this. Great lesson. We all start at zero. Who woulda thunk.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Just a normal flatpick

This is just what I needed, something to spice up my playing a little. The same old stuff I've been playing sounds, well dull, stale. Very helpful.

[@erik4683]

Thanks so much for this, Jack. I am really glad to have located your channel. Just spent a fun 20 mins on the picking drill; tough at first, but I can see how the speed will come with consistency! Thank you again...

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Erik! Welcome aboard👍 Yeah… gotta stick with it, but once it becomes second nature you can just fall back on the technique and a cool chord voicing while you consider the next chord change or melodic idea. The truth is it’ll always be musical, because it’s based in rhythm and chord tones.

Really enjoyed your playing and this is a really good lesson. Thanks! Nerd question for you: You have great tone... was wondering what kind/gauge strings you're using on that guitar.

Great rhythm game dude damn!

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Rhythm is everything….especially in bluegrass. Without it, there’s just no flow.

I'd love to buy a tab of this, if you have the time/interest!

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Hi! Thanks for the comment, and offer to financially support the channel, however at this time I don’t have the means of tabbing out something like this. So far all tablature of my lessons has been provided by students, friends, subscribers etc…very generous of them as I’m told it’s quite time consuming. If anyone wants to tackle this I’ll offer you a lesson in exchange for a job well done.
