(1,757 posts).mostly at festivals in the mid 1980s. The set that I remember best was one early Sunday morning at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. He and Bela Fleck played a set of instrumental duets. A lot of it was old Beatles covers. Beautiful location - box canyon, couple of waterfalls visible from where we sat and amazing music. Ill always remember that morning.

His sounds amazing!
Pretty hard not to notice how high the action is on that guitar. He's got that set up STRICTLY for slide.
There was a cool juxtaposition when, after the guy on the Tele is in pentatonic, the violin guy comes in playing all major scales (until the end, when he does some harmonic minor.)
I dig the Tele player's tone, too.

The tele guy is Mike Seal, probably the best Nashville guitarist that most people have never heard of. There are a lot of videos of him playing various guitars on the Carter Vintage Guitars YouTube page.

(68,112 posts)I almost never like the tone of electric guitar when played with the thumb.
Mike is obviously an exception. Knopfler, in his early days, was another.
As much as I respect him, I didn't even like Jeff Beck's tone as much when he went 100% fingers.
I think I miss the slight & very short ping of a pick.
I don't feel the same about acoustic, even though I play them 95% with a pick. I hear lots of fingerstyle acoustic players with what I think is a marvelous tone.
