Struttin' | Jerry Reed | Zarek Silberschmidt

A cover of Jerry Reed's 'Struttin'. I first heard this song performed by Tommy Emmanuel, then I researched further and discovered it originally recorded by the great Chet Atkins, but is in fact a composition from the fingerpicking genius Jerry Reed.

Oh Hell Yeah! What a great cover, hitting ALL those notes, with the clearness, style and rhythm this song dictates. Love it!

[@ZarekSilberschmidt]

Thanks so much for being so kind!

[@stephenkuzmak4501]

Wonderful cover. It's nice to hear it not on a maton also. I am working ferociously on rhis piece... you make it look too easy. Super great solid bro. 👌

[@ZarekSilberschmidt]

Thanks so much Stephen! I found this piece quite tricky in the beginning! I tried to play it as slow as possible while still being able to feel the groove. So cool you're tackling this tune!

[@heliomoonwave]

[@daiwild]

I need to learn this one.😎 Good job, mate.

[@ZarekSilberschmidt]

Thanks! It’s a great tune to add to finger style repertoire.

[@daiwild]

@@ZarekSilberschmidt yup. Btw Jerrys picking can be chalenging. This slapping sound all over the tune. What strings gauge do u use?

[@ZarekSilberschmidt]

Hey great question!! The sound comes from the ‘Boom Chick’ technique, it’s a four note per chord movement of the thumb, when the thumb hits the 2nd and 4th part of the movement, I try and pluck both the D string and a little of the G string to get the think slap sound. I hope this is not to confusing, it’s difficult to explain through writer to text. I think I’ll make a video lesson on this topic soon. Regards from Switzerland! ☺️
