Ian Fyvie Is Prissy Fingerpicking a Turnoff? (183* d) RE: Is Prissy Fingerpicking a Turnoff? 04 Feb 09


Horses for courses Weelittledrummer!

I picked up finger picking as I went along. New song I want to do? - so work out a pick to suite the song. I put a bit of effort in when I was learning - homework for the evening class where I did the classical basic pick for a couple of terms. But I don't ever remember studying complex texts on picking, I never copied from heros or anything like that - and recommend evolution to develop a good range of styles, based on having the style follow what you want to do - not the other way round.

But as a former guitar teacher, I know that some students have to learn the structured way. Again: horses...
