Subject: RE: Help for Pickers - Give us a tip II
My guess is that relatively few of them subscribed to this particular list of recommendations, and I'll bet a lot of them never evan gave this stuff much conscious thought. When all is said and done, there are lots of ways to play the guitar, and some of the people who do it "wrong" have turned out to be outstanding players. [Ask Segovia whether it's okay to use a thumbpick, then ask Chet Atkins. Then tell me who is "right".]

This does not mean that Mooh's suggestions are bad ones -- I think he is right about most or all of what he said. But there's always one more way to skin a cat.

If you want to play like Django, first you have to stick your hand into a very hot fire until your fingers fuse together...
