Lesson ID: A0198
In this guitar lesson, we’ll take a look at a flatpicking arrangement in the style of “Fishin’ Creek Blues” by Dan Crary. As you learn this tune, you’ll see how Dan Crary uses some unusual note combinations in his flatpicking. Try to commit some of his licks to memory and use them when you’re improvising over other songs in the key of D. Overall this is a great lesson for working on pick control and letting notes ring out to create nice overtones that will smooth out your playing.

New lesson! Hope y’all like it!
Love this one!
Looks like a good one – thanks, Devin!
I see what you mean about his note choices. It’s like the song is 2 (or even 3) 8-10 measure licks.
I like this song
Might have to sink a few pints of Guinness with this one.
Nice one
Nice looks like a fun one to try.
Hi!
is the playthrough played binary?
This piece pairs perfectly with another of Devin’s lessons. Fishin’ Creek Blues ends with a D chord and an ending Devin composed, “How to End a Bluegrass Song With Style” starts with a D chord so one leads to the other seamlessly.
