The Jesse McReynolds Interview

Bluegrass Pioneer Jesse McReynolds answered questions from fans in an on-line interview sponsored by Mandolin Cafe!


Jesse talks about his cross-picking style, how George Shuffler developed his own cross-picking on the guitar while working for the McReynolds Brothers, about recording songs he didn't particularly like, ("Diesel On My Tail"), imitating banjo rolls on the mandolin and more.
I never was interested in the brand name of an instrument. I just look for how it sounds and how it plays.  - Jesse McReynolds
The interview is detailed and quite lengthy and full of historical photographs.
