@sleigh, I was going back through my post about "what are you playing/learning now?" and saw your mention of Richard Thompson's Crawl Back. I googled that and some of the others that I wasn't familiar with to see if any piqued my interest, ultimately winding up listening to several Richard Thompson tunes (including the above video, which is incredible). I have to admit to never being very familiar with him... thanks for the tip.

Breathtaking acoustic fingerstyle. He's the master!

I generally play three songs of Thompson's on my solo gigs: "Crawl Back," "Al Bowlly", & "Long Silken Hair." But he has written a ton of great tunes (I have about 650 Thompson songs on my iTunes, though several of those are different versions of the same tune, as well as a lot of cover tunes and his Fairport Convention material.)

Yeah, his ability to use a pick between thumb and forefinger while still using his other fingers is pretty impressive. And as a soloist, he's incredible.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
