Doc WatsonDoc Watson is a legend in acoustic music, with a unique style influenced by his traditional Appalachian folk music roots, blues, country, gospel, and bluegrass. Despite being blind since infancy, Doc has been making music his whole life and is considered by fans everywhere to be one of the world's most accomplished flatpickers. Arthel Lane "Doc" Watson was born in Stoney Fork Township, NC, on March 3, 1923 surrounded by music. His mother sang traditional and religious songs, and his father played the banjo. Doc's first instruments were a harmonica and a homemade banjo, but he soon showed a talent on the guitar. After receiving his first guitar from his father, Doc started playing both family favorites and new material he picked up from records and the radio with neighbors and family. Doc's talent developed to the point where he supported his family through the 1950's playing music and tuning pianos. His main occupation was playing electric guitar in a country dance band with pianist Jack Williams, but he also continued to play traditional acoustic music with his friends Tom "Clarence" Ashley, Clint Howard, and Fred Price. A
performance with Ashley, Howard, and Prince at Union Grove, North Carolina
in 1960 brought Doc together with folklorist Ralph Rinzler.
By 1961, Rinzler had arranged for Ashley, Howard, Prince, and Doc to
perform in New York City for a "Friends of Old-Time Music" concert, and
one year later Doc performed solo for the first time at Gerde's Folk City
in Greenwich Village. In addition to thousands of concerts, Doc has recorded dozens of albums in his long career. Since his son Merle's death in 1985, he now only performs occasionally. For the last six years, Doc has hosted the annual Merle Watson Memorial Festival in Wilkesboro, N.C. on the last weekend of April. Doc Watson died on May 29, 2012. |

Train, Bluebell, Windy and Warm, Southbound, Black Mountain Rag, Beaumont Rag,
Georgie, East Tennessee Blues, Way Downtown, The Cuckoo, Don't Let Your Deal Go
Down" and other great folk and country songs. As an added treat, Doc is

Doc Watson Plays "Windy & Warm"
Doc Watson - Flatpicking With Doc - DVD
Doc sits down with
Steve Kaufman,
a top-notch flatpicker in his own right, and shows how he plays some of his most
beloved songs and guitar instrumentals! He and Steve trade licks and play duets,
and Doc slows his playing down so that you will be able to follow along as you
learn to play these fabulous tunes. Starting with the old gospel song "Open Up
Them Pearly Gates" Doc shows how he uses hammer-ons and pull-offs
to easily add notes to his accompaniment. He then launches into a crosspicking
solo, moving effortlessly up the neck in simple movable positions that create a
complex sounding break. Moving to the classic ballad "Little Sadie" Doc explains
how he devises his licks and positions in D minor. On "More Pretty Girls Than
One, New River Train, and White House Blues" he
slows down the flashy runs that punctuate each line of the song. This is one of
Doc's signature guitar techniques that has baffled many students of Doc's guitar
style. He then carefully breaks down the solos to each song.
Doc and Steve launch into breathtaking versions of classic fiddle tunes "Salt
Creek" and "Ragtime Annie" showing you the lead and back-up, as
well as the "twin" harmony parts. These show
stoppers are also slowed down so you can really see what these two incredible
guitarists are playing. Changing gears, Doc teaches his version of the
hauntingly lovely "Goodnight Waltz" as well as his improvisations to the country
and jazz tunes "When It's Peach Pickin' Time In Georgia" and "Sweet
Georgia Brown". Finally, Doc brings on his
grandson Richard Watson for a performance of three bluesy songs they have been
performing together: "Walk On Boy, Chicago Blues, and Summertime".
