Though mostly known for his masterful fingerstyle playing, Eric Skye is also a skilled flatpicker, as his album June Apple with mandolinist Tim Connor ably demonstrates. Eric has now created a series of flatpicked fiddle tunes that he is showcasing on Facebook and Instagram. In this video, Eric plays “Chinquapin Hunting” on this Santa Cruz 00-SKYE signature model.
