Well, since no one has posted the first entry, I'll try it! Welcome to the new group. I'm a beginning flatpicker, having played just fingerstyle for the last 20 years. It's almost like starting over, except the learning curve is probably a little easier because of the experience. Still, coordinating my left and right hands is brand new, as all the flatpick runs are so totally different than fingerstyle. But I'm having a ball doing it!

I have been finger picking (mostly Travis style) and flat picking for almost 40 years, but still learn new things everyday. I recently decided to learn the Resonator Guitar, aka The Dobro and what a challenge that is going to be. Talk about starting over. It is lots of fun though.

Love playing Irish traditional tunes but speed and timing is my nemesis. MapleNuts I think we may have to start a Lost & Found Flatpickers Group! We can just hope Karen is OK!

I am a learn by ear picker, been flatpicking and crosspicking, trying to learn some fingerpicking, I love the 'Mississippi John Hurt" style. Holler at me, I have some videos to share that might help someone leran a lick or two.
