GUEST,Tunesmith	fingerpicking guitar (192* d)	RE: fingerpicking guitar	16 May 14
A previous poster mentioned "hybrid style" playing ( i.e. using a plectrum in conjunction with fingers). So many players use that style these days that the lines between "flatpick" and fingerstyle are somewhat blurred. I even saw some early Beatles footage where George was employing a hybrid technique. Richard Thompson does a lot of hybrid picking, as does the wonderful Lucy Kaplansky ( I LOVE LUCY!). Indeed, Lucy, I think, plays exclusively hybrid style, Hybrid has become my first choice style, and I would like to think that, if practised diligently, hybrid could cover everything that a pure fingerstyle and pure flatpicker could achieve. I'm not quite at that point yet. But I am getting closer!
