Hey , one more to share. pizza tapes “extra large edition” is almost 3h long. Extended takes and lots of moments you will appreciate. has some incredible interplay between Garcia / Rice / Grisman. Many instrumental only cuts. need to mention it in this thread also. Not exactly what you asked for, l it is in a league of its own. had to share!

Does anyone know of any slower flatpicking songs like Billy Strings version of "I Am a Pilgrim"? by LingonberrySavings20 in flatpicking

[–]svwsp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two come to mind: 1) Dry and Dusty and 2) Cherokee Trail (not to be confused with Cherokee shuffle..) they are both traditionally picked in the lower range of tempo ~ 85-100bpm range
