Being from the Nashville area, it'd be a sin if you didn't.

Thread revival.

I was recently wondering about this. I'd like to learn how to "chicken pick" but was wondering how to do it. I'm a little shady on playing over the chord vs playing in the scale. Are any notes fair game, provided you emphasize the notes in the chord? My lack of theory knowledge is gonna be pretty obvious here . . .

Old Dixie Dregs albums are filled with chicken pickin'

Steve Morse is an undisputed master

Danny Gatton chicken pickin!

Danny Gatton rules. I couldn't think of a better way to say it.

Wow for a second there I thought his fretboard was rosewood. But no, it's just REALLY dirty. And by dirty I mean it's had the hell played out of it.

Hybrid...

Danny Gatton is very good, no doubt.....

But Albert Lee -- that dude is just f'in insane.

Lookup the youtube stuff from Crossroads 2007 or anything else for that matter.

Nashville shock & awe.

see if you can get your hands on a Steve Morse instructional DVD. He tackles this very question and teaches you how to pull the string up and make that popping sound (all the while claiming he doesn't really know what it is). Amazing. hope you find it.

Yeah I'll take a look. Thanks guys.

I need a video that slows it right down I think. I was practicing today, but it just ended up being me remembering how to finger pick classical style. I wasn't "picking" I was more "fingering" (minds out of the gutter. . .). They are using their fingers, not their nails? Anyway, I need a good (slower) exercise that I can speed up once I get a bit better at it. I mean there's a certain style to it that's just not clicking.
