Crosspicking 102 – Sitting on Top of the World
January 29th, 2018Here is a fine example of crosspicking in the tradition of George Shuffler who played with The Stanley Brothers back in the day.
I transcribed this solo from a 1977 live performance of Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys. You can view the original concert video here.
The guitar player is Troy ‘Renfro’ Profitt and he does a brilliant job of sticking to the melody while rolling that syncopated crosspicking throughout. The predominent picking pattern is Down-Up-Up.
