I do. For me it is just one of the way of articulation. (So definitely not all the time) I also think that for students/beginners practicing rest strokes (both with a pick or in fingerstyle)...
I am not aware of ever using rest strokes when I play with a pick. I've made the attempt to learn to use them, but find it an awkward movement that provides me with no expressive benefit. So I gave...
That is interesting; those motions of her pick look and feel very familiar and natural to me. However, compared to her hand mine is motionless; my thumb and index moving the pick.
If you like the sound of a tweed Fender amp, that would be the target of the original Roland Blues Artist amp sound. It's a little dull for my taste. When I went to purchase one of their overpriced...

GB15's are awesome archtops! Yours looks like new. GLWYS.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I still don’t like it though. :smile-new: That is, I make a distinction between so-called “single note soloing” and soloing with chords. Analogies are just...
OP, Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and preordered.
I've used the GHS burnished nickel 10-46 on all my electrics since the late 70's when I was a dealer and have never found anything that I like any better (except maybe Fender 150s). I recently got a...
