I don't know! I watched all of them and the feller that won was really good, but for complexity of picking and hitting every note right on the money, I think Presley should have gotten the prize. He is absolutely outstanding, and you know he's only going to get better if that's possible. A flat picker of the highest order!!
Presley is the best, hands down and he's going to get alot better, but they are all very talented, I appreciate all guitar 🎸 players, thanks to everyone for making this video.
Which contestant almost never bothered looking at what either of his hands were doing? Answer Presley Barker. In this regard he is most like his major influence Doc Watson, who never looked!
How does Presley get such accuracy that way with right hand floating all stability from the way his arm is resting on the top of the guitar 🤷♂️ amazing to say the least
Love the guy with baseball cap,looks like a Tom mic too . that guitar sounds insane.I think he won.He is amazing ,dude can shred bluegrass. Guys like him are probably better than brad paisley? The kid has all 10 fingers going.How do these people get so dam good.What guitar is kid in pink shirt playing?
While his guitar gently gentles. And the next generation is stepping up to their times. Nice pickin’ ! Wonder if Hardin the guitarist is a distant cousin of a Hardin the painter who did work for my dad’s custom picture frame shop. Hardin did a portrait from a photo of John F Kennedy that made it to the White House and the eyes of Jacqueline Kennedy. She liked it!
Number four who played Cannonball Rag has a weird travis picking technique it seems he's using his pinky and his index fingers floating, amazing nonetheless.
I disputed this one in 16 and still dispute it now, listening to it again, Presley was the best picker on that stage. Eric is a wonderful guitar flatpicker but Presley was better.
