The Original Carter Family - 2 August 1927.

In this Maybelle Carter-Style Guitar lesson, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer show how to play "Lonesome Pine Special." Maybelle’s lead is another great demonstration of the classic “Carter scratch.” In addition to learning the main lead, you’ll learn Maybelle’s quirky intro, which doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the song but is fun to play.

Maybelle Carter played “Hello Stranger” in a fingerpicking style with steady alternating bass and a couple of single-note melodic lines.

In this Maybelle Carter-Style Guitar lesson, Cathy Fink teaches “There’s No Hiding Place Down Here,” which was recorded by the Carter Family in 1934. Maybelle’s lead is a great example of the Carter scratch, and there’s a lot of thumb–up–down–up strumming, which really fills out the sound.
