Great job, Alan, thanks for posting this lesson! I'm working on a version of "Salt Creek" done by Mickey Abraham from Flatpicking Guitar Magazine right now. But it's always good to think outside the box (even if the sweets inside are too tasty). The alternate B section in particular is a nice way to bring a slightly different timbre into play. And that's what I'm always looking for.
Alan thank you for this video, needed to work on this tune again. A great version! The up-the-neck B part is a bonus for sure. I bought the digital issue of your article online at Acoustic Guitar site, for the tab , and, turns out the magazine has some other interesting articles, especially the DADGAD tuning article and video. I was first introduced to that on a Ron Block DVD lead video on AcuTab for the recorded song "Living Prayer" sung and recorded by Alison Krauss .
Thank you, I’ve loved learning this. I managed to get it up to 140 bpm and felt really pleased with myself until I went back to the video and realised… you’re actually playing at 200 bpm rather than 100 (at least as you’ve written it in 4/4) aren’t you? Maybe one day I’ll get there!
Thanks! It’s great for flatpicking, but it sounds much different than a dread. Warmer, more focused, less power from the bass. I like it when playing solo or in smaller groups. In a typical bluegrass setting I usually go for a dread.
So good.
Been playing guitar for over 25 years and only just now getting into bluegrass music.
I love it!
Super fun
Thank, Alan.
Great song and explanation.

Hey that’s right! I typically use clicks at the half note instead of the quarter note.
Really?? I'm playing along with Strum Machine at 100 bpm, and it's exactly the same as the video. 200 would be beyond Tony Rice level.
@@kevinmonahan1208Bluegrass tempos are typically presented in half time.
Thanks for another great lesson! How do feel the Waterloo compares to the dreadnought for flatpicking?

@@alanbarnosky5566 Thanks. Very helpful information.
Hey Alan, I’am watching your guitar lesson. Like the metro me on salt creek. Wanna see if you grow the beard out. 😊
Boy that's slow....
