In her latest Maybelle Carter-Style Guitar lesson, Cathy Fink teaches “Lonesome Pine Special.” Maybelle’s lead to “Lonesome Pine Special” is a great demonstration of the classic “Carter scratch.” You’ll learn her main lead as well as her quirky intro, which doesn’t have much to do with the song but is fun to play.

In this Maybelle Carter-Style Guitar Lesson, Cathy Fink teaches “Cannonball Blues,” which is a fingerstyle showcase for Maybelle Carter. She plays fingerstyle with her thumb and index finger but if you’re used to fingerpicking with your middle and/or ring fingers, you can do it that way as well.
