I wasn't familiar with Paul Brady until now. I just watched him on YouTube and I'm impressed. He's very good. Very, very good!

But his style and mine are very different. I have never used a pick in my life, studied classic guitar for several years, and play classical style--nylon-strings, wide fingerboard, and I use my right hand fingers.

Other than working out chords for songs, feeding in little melodic riffs with the fingers and bass lines with the thumb, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to offer much advice. I'll keep watching this thread and if anything occurs to me, I'll chime in.

Good luck!
