Lesson ID: A0185
In this guitar lesson, we’ll work on our flatpicking technique using a variation of the melody from the song “Wheel Hoss” written by Bill Monroe. The flatpicking arrangement in this lesson is inspired by how David Grier plays “Wheel Hoss” on guitar and we’ll study how to use this flatpicking arrangement as a practice drill to work on your pick accuracy and speed across all six strings of your guitar.

Gear Used in This Lesson
New guitar lesson! I may record a backing track for this one sometime early next week, but here’s the main lesson. Thanks for watching!
Ive been waiting for you to do a David Grier style lesson! Worth the wait 🙂 thanks so much. “I’ve got the house to myself” is one of my favourite guitar records. His arrangements and picking are always so intelligent.
Love it Devin,
Thanks for sharing.
Just joined partly because of this great lesson:)
Cool one! I like the double stop part. Great job Devin!
This looks like my next tune to learn. Very nice.
Great lesson Devin , thanks !
Really enjoying this one. I’ve got it down quite nicely, but only at a snail’s pace and it doesn’t sound anything like Devin’s. The two-stringed slide is particularly cool and now the old muscle memory is kicking in it’s pretty easy. Just need to speed it up a bit (a lot).
Excellent lesson
Who is David Grier anyways?
I think I’m pretty cool when I play this. LOL!!
Great lesson, thank you sir! My only feedback on this website — when I open the new tab to read the tab (haha), it would be amazing if there were a way to view the tab sheets side by side (display two pages on the screen instead of just one) — so I don’t have to stop playing to press the next page. If this is possible to do in the future, would be amazing! (Or I could stop being lazy, and print the sheets out). Thx again Devin!
Hey Mac – Thanks for the feedback. I think we may have just figured out a workaround for this. It seems to work ok… if you zoom out on the pdf, when it gets to 50% or less, it’ll show the sheets side by side. You can also click the full screen button and zoom out to 50% or less and that would probably work better. Haven’t tested this on any other computers yet besides a Macbook Pro so we’ll give it a try for a bit and see how it goes. Hope that helps!
You the man. Thank you!
David Greer – a flatpicking style that simply speaks- gorgeous
great!! thanks Devin
