“I never became adapt at Jerry’s style exactly, but learning his tunes inspired lots of licks in the “floating technique” where scales are played using fretted strings higher up the neck on lower strings followed by open strings to give a ringing harp-like texture, and in the banjoroll style too.”
“Most players, myself included, can tend to get a little too serious about the music, and Jerry reminded us that guitar playing can be hot and humorous at the same time.” John Jorgenson
(I think Jerry is showing off some of that floating technique below...now I feel like some fried chicken, ice cold beer and starting a fight at some honky tonk! - Ed)
