Description
Mike Seeger describes his experience preparing the brief historical essay for his recent Smithsonian Folkways CD, Early Southern Guitar Sounds (SFW 40157, released in 2007). The process included contacting independent scholars, instrument makers and collectors, and string manufacturers, as well as consulting books on southern history and musical instrument manufacturing. Seeger illustrated the talk with recorded and performed examples of Southern guitar playing styles and gave suggestions areas that still need exploration.Additional Descriptive Notes: For additional information about Mike Seeger please see: http://mikeseeger.info
