Hi.
I've been watching the footage of Mance Lipscomb on the Legends of Country Blues Guitar vol 1 and I think it looks like Mance was using almost some kind of "Nashville"-type setup on his guitar. Looks like the top four or three strings are unwound. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there anything special with this or is he just using very light guage stings and might this be one of the keys to playing the monotonic base style?
Thanks for any info
