First brought to prominence by fiddler Arthur Smith and later cemented in the traditional canon by Doc Watson, this piece demands relentless rhythmic drive, precise syncopation, and clean plectrum control.

The core artistic principle remains uncompromising: 100% acoustic and unamplified. No pickups and no synthetic processing—allowing the natural attack of the pick, the harmonic resonance of aged tonewood, and the organic breathing room of steel strings to speak for themselves.

These are great workshops. I’m not part of this organization but I’ve attended many of these workshops and loved them.
