Hi - does anybody know of some songs where a player goes back & forth between strumming & fingerpicking?
thanks
thanks
I do but that's no good on here cos I aint got any videos on the web.
I was classicly trained in my teens then I joined a band and the fingerstyle method and the plectrum method just sort of merged.
Fingerpicking is way more fun to me than just doing constant pick playing (I generally dislike using picks at all).
Something about my reply struck him as funny and he put it on an electronic post-it on his Mac desktop. Because of issues on both our ends, the cd took about 6 months to complete. At some point when we were near the end and working on mixes, I noticed the quote on the desktop and all of a sudden I heard a great opening line for a song in head... "I don't know where to look for you, 'cause I rarely look for you anywhere." The song practically wrote itself after that. It'll likely be on my next cd.
I'm not quite sure, but I think srv hardly ever used a pick.
I agree that Richard Thompson is the best example of someone who holds a flat pick between his thumb and index fingers and fingerpicks with his other three fingers. Personally, I hate doing that; if I'm at a gig and I'mgoing to fingerpick I put on a thumb pick and use that to strum if I want to strum.
