A couple weeks ago, I met and studied with world-renowned flatpicking genius Chris Eldridge, nicknamed Critter. In this video, I review Chris' extraordinary career in bluegrass and beyond, and I share two of his killer guitar tips that'll help YOU gain speed and accuracy.
You'll also go behind-the-scenes at Chris Thile's Acousticamp, with rare fly-on-the-wall footage from Chris' Grammy-award-winning Progressive Bluegrass group Punch Brothers and his all-star Traditional Bluegrass group Mighty Poplar.

Great vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, Gracie!
Great video, Robert. I love the way you give all of the fascinating background information, but more, that you're helping others out here to grow 👍🏻
I appreciate that, Mark! I get as much joy and excitement from sharing musical discoveries (artists) as I do from sharing tips and tricks. Thanks for watching and leaving a positive comment - helps keep me going!
Grazie Robert, always precious! Ciao
Prego, Alessandra!
Hi Robert, I always make songs alone by myself and I made parallel parking song to teach some permit drivers by using DADGAD tuning: Maybe I will teach you one day, I will be teaching you one day and day.
Do you make&write your own songs every year?
Hi Michael - I'd love to hear your parallel parking song! I love alternate tunings like DADGAD, and I've done quite a few videos about them. Here's one where I sing and play Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind in DADGAD, by using a partial capo that raises it one whole step to EBEABE. ua-cam.com/video/k6cgzYGL4ag/v-deo.htmlsi=ZvUqQYkUOnsJC7nt
As for writing songs, I wrote my first in 1972 (!) and I've never stopped. Here's the opening track from my recent EP Life Inside. It's a chant called "Om," and it features 10 of my own voice layered into a choir: ua-cam.com/video/_kaVwrY3ytY/v-deo.htmlsi=XK752bXfvKSZIwuZ
Please make a vid with Julian's teaching experience
I’m working on that! Might take a week or two but I will definitely post one soon
Only thing is you explain pick stroke theory by saying it makes alternate picking easier then you use an example where you don't alternate pick
I chose that solo specifically because it isn't a typical down-up-down-up-down-up melodic line. In cases like this, where very specific beats are accented and only certain phrases or notes require alternate picking, using pick stroke theory to keep the pick moving makes it feel and sound more fluid.
