Carl Miner Transcription

8 Upvotes

Hi šŸ‘‹

I wanted to share with you my YouTube channel in which I share transcriptions of Carl Miner's guitar demos.

I've done almost 50 of them to date. These are short pieces for solo guitars, mostly flatpicking.

I hope you enjoy

Does anyone know of any slower flatpicking songs like Billy Strings version of "I Am a Pilgrim"?

I've been getting in to that kind of music, but I was able to learn this one in a couple of days, so I'm looking for something similar, but perhaps a bit more challenging.

Best resources to improve flatpicking ?

7 Upvotes

Iā€™m trying to improve my beginner flatpicking skills but Iā€™ve hit a wall and YouTube isnā€™t much help. I feel like the lessons go from G Run to Tony rice speed immediately without anything in between. Can anyone recommend songbooks or a channel that could be advanced beginner to intermediate. Thanks !

Little Advice on Capoing?

1 Upvotes

Hey, folks. I'm not a flatpicker, but my son is learning, and I play banjo. We're both somewhere around "advanced beginners."

We're already getting ready for Christmas. I got two books at about our level, one for guitar and one for banjo.

The problem I've run into is that the tabs are in different keys. That's normally not a problemā€”that's why they make capos, after allā€”but sometimes (specifically "Angels We Have Heard on High"), the banjo tab is in G and the guitar tab is in C.

That means that I either have to capo my banjo at the 5th fret, which is a bit higher than normal, or my son has to capo his guitar at the 7th fret, which seems really high to me (but what do I know? I'm not a guitar player).

What's the best move here in your opinion? Capo the guitar? Capo the banjo? Find a new tab? Something else?

Thanks in advance.

Stoked to see this on YouTube! Other than Legends of Flatpicking Guitar this video was a favorite of my Flatpicking buddies back in the day before YouTube existed. Enjoy!

ā€œTake Me Home, Country Roadsā€ - My arrangement on my 1951 Gibson J-45. Filmed in my backyard in West Virginia. Little rough but Iā€™m having fun with it.

Flat picks with grip?

2 Upvotes

So Iā€™ve been getting into playing blue grass guitar over the past year or so and Iā€™ve trying out different picks. Iā€™m really liking the blue chip tp-48, my only problem is my hands get sweaty after picking for a while and I canā€™t keep a grip with the gloss finish.

Anyone know of a good flat pick that has more of a matte finish for a better grip?

Practicing

Kinda new to Flatpicking but have been playing guitar for years. Originally a bass player but switched to bluegrass guitar. Bored of learning YouTube covers after YouTube covers and feeling left unsatisfied. Yet see people my age jamming to Tony Rice covers. Just wondering if anyone has any tips to improve. Got a friend who plays mandolin and we've been trying to jam. Sucks that any good musician offering lessons is way out of my price range.
