Fingerstyle

[Mark Kleinhaut]

I’m posting this video under technique, even though it could be under songs, chord melody, improvisation etc as it’s all those things. But to me the evolutionary aspect of this is fully about playing with fingers vs plectrum, especially as I get more agile with the single lines. The camera angles on this one showcase what I’m getting at. Thanks for watching!

That and being genetically equipped with thick nails. Look forward to your progress and stellar tone as usual.

Glad to see & hear the work with fingers.
Tell us more about glass files. It’s always good to enlighten know-nothings who merely clip/never file.

glass files are very fine compared to emery boards, but the real secret is they heat and seal the nails keratin layers as you file, so stronger smoother finish that resists chipping and checking.
