James Alan Shelton teaches Clinch Mountain Cross picking

In this video lesson we are remembering our dear departed friends George Shuffler (1925-2014) and James Alan Shelton (1960-2014). You will see George and James play a few tunes and discuss the origins of the Clinch Mountain style crosspicking the guitar. James will then demonstrate the technique and show you how to use crosspicking on the tune “Rank Stranger.” This video is an excerpt from Flatpicking Guitar Magazine’s instructional video “Clinch Mountain Guitar”.
