I started off strictly rhythm, didn't wanna make it cry or sing! But then I started working in little two bar melodies on turn arounds. More recently I've been taking lessons and playing tunes. We're adding in chords or pairs of notes on the stronger beats.

A few years ago I bought a Blue Ridge 12 string with the confidence that I would soon be able to remove my finger picks and apply my scruggs style technique to the 12 string and be able to emulate the one and only Leo Kotke.......... Well, it did kind of sound like him, if he flipped his guitar to lefty and played it with his bare feet. just had to get that off my chest. So sad

Too many to list, really, but some names that spring to mind (bear in mind that I'm old..!)... Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention and more...) Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna...) Bobby Weir (Grateful Dead...) Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane...) Mickey Baker (see his Jazz Guitar Method books...) John Lennon (Some Merseyside group or other...) Bryan Maclean (Love...)
