In 1976 Dudley Hill released “From A Northern Family”.  Lots of great flat picking on this one.

In 1972 Danny Ross released Flattop Guitar Man.  This album has some electric guitar and acoustic guitar as lead instruments.  It seems to me mostly flat picking instead of finger picking.

Haiku, Memento Mori "Doc Watson was an - absolute genius at flat - picking a guitar"

Billy Strings is one to watch. 

“Imagine taking a hardcore heavy metal band like Pantera and cramming all that energy into the body of a 21-year-old bluegrass guitarist. That’s basically Billy Strings. He TORE across the stage during his set, grimacing, growling, swearing, head-banging and tearing the holy shit out of a set of utterly-straight-ahead traditional bluegrass. Kid can pick! DAMN can he pick!”

I was just a kid when I came across Mr. Warfield.  I would see him doing some wonderful Doc Watson style guitar picking at bluegrass festivals.  I believe he had fought cancer in his throat and lost his ability to speak.  He was one of those guys that fell in love with bluegrass music and had to pick with his friends.  

Enjoy!
