Re: Thinking about learning fingerstyle on a tenor
Thanks guys. I am watching tons of fingerpicking videos. I had no idea how much you could do with that kind of playing style. It is gradually sinking in that I just discovered a whole new world of playing. 4 strings is a bit limited compared to 6 (although easier on my aging hands and brain), still I am finding I can get a lot out of 4 strings.
I ordered a bunch of fingerpicks (picks are like pokemon - have to try them all :-) ). Amazon prime to the rescue as usual.
I am actually thinking about nails too, as a last resort, I am not the manicure or glue-on nails type, but if that is what works I'll have to do it.
The marvelous custom Davey Stuart tenor is also holding it's own nicely with the new style.
Best xmas present in years in some ways, stuck at home with Covid-19 is time I am putting to good use, as a church musician it is for His service really. :-)
