The Sift is home to some great guitar pickers young and old. I particularly love the old country styles.
This list will mostly lean (hopefully) toward a Piedmont, mountain style that's my personal favorite, but there are modern, bluegrass and Mississippi Delta blues examples here too. Oh, and Chet Atkins will be here no matter what style he's playing.
Get yourself a plate of greens,fatback,cornbread, a glass of buttermilk and enjoy.
