Fretboard Journal 71: David Grier

Nashville flatpicker David Grier is no stranger to our magazine,
he was the cover story of our 16th issue. In this hour-long
interview, part of our new Fretboard Journal Live video series,
the acoustic guitarists talks about his unique background (his
dad played banjo for Bill Monroe), some of the fateful encounters
he had with Clarence White as a boy and how he’s developed the
phenomenal technique he has today.


Grier’s playing, as always, is otherworldly. He plays a few tunes
in this podcast, including “King Wilkie’s Run” and “Red Haired
Boy.” Grier is playing a guitar built for him by Bellingham,
Washington builder Dake Traphagen.


Podcast duration: 1:05.
