Hi Lew! I love these guitaro videos, and I love how you strum it. Can you do a video sometime showing your right hand strum technique? it's hard to tell from the videos which type of picks you're wearing, or how you make the strum patterns, but as an aspiring autoharpist, I'd love to see more of your technique. You do a great job.
I use a thumb pick and two finger picks (index and middle fingers).
The strum is very "free-form". I sometimes strum across with my thumb and sometimes strum back across with my finger picks. At other times I use a pinch strum, that is to say, I strum with my thumb and fingers at the the time by just bringing my thumb and fingers towards each other. Which strum I use at any given moment depends on the rhythm.
I'm sorry to hear about your finger, but that guitaro sure sounds good, the way you play it! Loved this! You look so cozy, wrapped up that way too. :-) Happy New Year!
@SirCoughsalot Getting back to your dream… if you ever do come to Canada (and Montreal in particular) in the future make sure you are here on the 1st Tuesday of the month. I'd love to have U-strummit at the Gryphon D'Or.
Great song! Sorry to hear about your finger! The Guitaro sounds really good though! I know you how you feel. I struggle with arthritis in my fingers and everywhere else. Thanks for another great year! Happy 2012!

Cool sound. Sorry for the trouble with your finger. Hope it's not permanent. But you'll always find a way to keep on making music. Happy New Year.
