Hi YJGG,
Circa half a year ago I saw Wes's Belgium tape and I
switched to pick only with my thumb, thinking that if I ever
reach his speed that would be enough. Now its starting to
give me some results, it sounds really good, and gives me an
even more "intimate" connection with my guitar. Actually I
was always doin some sort of fingerpicking as some kind of a
fun, but when I practiced 'seriously' I always practiced
with a pick. That video really encouraged me to do it. There
are problems though, and that is fast rhythms, Im not able
to play a really good feel, hopefully not yet. I dont think
everybody should play that, but it worth to give a try, if
you practice daily anyway, the sound is really good. I just
cant wait to be able to play faster, but it might take
another 6 months, or most probably more.
How many of you play like that, esp for a longer time? What
are your experiences?
Bye
Szilágyi Péter
