Hi Lee,
I play classical and folk nylon-string guitar. I learned 40 years ago to use my right-hand fingers and thumb to play the pieces and have never used a pick. As I work through your book I have tried to mark the Exercise notes with right-hand fingering as one does with classical pieces but I am finding that awkward, especially on the shifts. I have also tried using just my thumbnail on all the strings and it feels a bit strange. It’s fun to be able to use the minor Pentatonic scale to improvise over your jam tracks but awkward for me at these fast tempos. Do you have any recommendations for players like me? Thanks so much for your help on this matter.
Lee, Thanks for your swift reply. I am stubborn so I keep experimenting to find a way to make it happen. Your recommendation of an eclectic mix of techniques is great. Thanks for letting me know I’m on the right path as the hammer-ons, squeeze shifts, slurs, and legatos are what I am using. These allow me more freedom and faster speeds.
I have also ordered your Guitar Theory book from Amazon. I like your Clarity and straightforward way of explaining concepts and techniques. Much appreciated.
Respectfully, Darryl
