“Growing up I had turntables that could play 16RPM records”
My parents’ turntable played 16RPM. That’s how I learned to play Doc Watson tunes. Put on the 33RPM record, and play it at 16RPM.
That’s how Jerry Garcia learned how to play guitar. Playing Wildwood Flower at 16.
Jerry’s problem is he forgot the songs were slowed down and kept playing painfully slow his whole life.
