Great lesson! Summarizing so many songs in just a few key principles. Clear explanations.

Great lesson, thank you 🙏

Great lesson. Always absolutely loved Doc’s Little Sadie and at last, a clear break down of how to play it.

Thanks for this lesson. I like the upstroke tips. They make it sound nice.

Grazie Alan, great lesson!!!

Thanks for this. I will try to learn it for sure.

Thanks Allen love your videos!

Thanks!

Great stuff as always Alan! Thank you!

Love it. Thanks

Great video but I have to say that "playing like Doc Watson" is exactly that --- we're all just trying to do a good imitation. Some people can come real close and sound great. But essentially nobody can rise to the level of that extraordinarily gifted man. Doc was one of a kind and they broke the mold the day he was born. His music isn't just the notes and the technique --- it's the warmth, honesty and generosity of his personality shining through, that made people love him so much. I am so glad I saw him live in concert back in the day.

Thanks!

Hello Alan! Scotty D. from Sunny Tennessee

Doc also learned a lot from Hank Garland when he played fiddle tune style. Listen to Garland's version, e.g., of Billy in the Lowground.

Best of RU-vid!

Is that a Martin D-10?

Please make carl miner lessons. His style and some of his songs

My reaction to all of your videos can be summed up by saying this: Pfffft!
