We're re-issuing one of Chris's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Chris:
Crosspicking is one of the great, under-appreciated flatpicking techniques. Pioneered by the Stanley Brothers' George Shuffler, crosspicking imitates the percolating, 3 against 4 feel of a bluegrass banjo roll. But unlike the hell-for-leather roll of a Ralph Stanley's banjo, crosspicking sounds wonderfully chilled out.
This week we're going to look at a very basic way to play the melody to Banks of the Ohio using both alternate picking and the George Shuffler-esque Down-Down-Up right-hand scheme.
