chicken pickin' - best guitarist? (OT)

[Bart]

Sorry for OT, but my Axis want chicken pickin' from me ))
I try to find some guitarists which play country (with a little funk) something like: Paul Chappy Chapman - Chappy.cc
I live in Poland and this kind of music isn't popular here and maybe You can help me and give me some name of guitarist which play like Chappy?

Big thanks
Bart

Hey - I just figured out that the Clutterbilly guy is Keith Urban. I guess he lost his guitar creds when he started getting CMA awards and hooking up with Nicole Kidman.

That video made me pick up the guitar again after a long layoff.

 

[Adwex]

Steve Morse does it occasionally.

Chicken Pickin

Hey, it's Doug Seven here.
Just joined the forum and I'm glad to be a part of it!

Chicken Pickin, Country Guitar Styles, Hybrid Picking, and Riffing
are the styles I've studied the most in my life.
I have a few fairly popular videos of my own on this playing style.

The "REAL" ICONS of Chicken pickin and Chicken Pickers in my book:

((Just Five of five hundred that comes to the top of my head))

Danny Gatton
Brent Mason
Johnny Hiland
Albert Lee
Ray Flacke

I include myself in this post as a student of these players and
MANY more like them...
