What an amazing talent.

My dad had a cassette of an album of Doc and Chet. Man, that was some good stuff! It must have been the Reflections album. OK, here's a good'un:
I had the pleasure of seeing Doc & Merle (his son) perform twice in a very small venue. Although probably known more for his flatpicking prowess, it was his fingerpicking that I loved, and the two of them fingerpicking a tune together was sheer magic. There’s a live version of Windy & Warm they did on an old Vanguard double LP that’s still the standard by which I judge any version of the song.
He makes it look so easy but it’s not. And I bet those are medium gauge strings. His pinky doing the bend!Thanks so much Woody - brings it all right back!

Bad form for sure. Some time on a guitar forum woulda straightened him out.He uses only his thumb and forefinger when fingerpicking.
