Fingerpicking, Merle Travis
Looking for Fingerstyle Guitar?
Some early blues players such as Blind Willie Johnson and Tampa Red added slide guitar techniques. Fingerpicking was soon taken up by Country and Western artists such as Sam McGee, Ike Everly (father of The Everly Brothers) and Merle Travis. Later Chet Atkins further developed the style, and Tommy Emmanuel is currently developing it.
