Go behind-the-scenes at the Fretboard Journal as we interview and hear music from flatpicking guitar legend David Grier. Grier was the cover story for the Fretboard Journal #16 and is widely considered one of the greatest acoustic guitarists alive today.
Fretboard Journal publisher Jason Verlinde interviews Grier about his music-filled childhood (Grier's father Lamar performed was a banjo player for Bill Monroe in the '60s), the influence of Clarence White, his cross-picking technique and more. We also get Grier's thoughts about acoustic guitars, practicing and more.
This is the pilot episode of Fretboard Journal Live, the FJ's new livestreaming interview series. We are proud to have Martin Guitars as our sponsor.
