Folk/Americana music fans don’t need to wander far through today’s top genre artists before they find Dave Rawlings. The man has built a reputation as one of most beloved and talented pickers in the industry. Known for his dominant lead guitar soloing and dedication to American folk and roots music, Rawlings is truly one of a kind and a treasure to the genre and musical world in general.
Rawlings took a break from the Machine to sit down with Guitar Power to improvise a few melodies and talk about his roots with the guitar as well as some unfortunate early musical moments on stage. People who are interested in the guitar will be well served in watching this video, Rawlings really does have a way of intuiting the direction of a song.
