[pebblez415]

i freestroke atleast one a day

[trowe76]

me too.. if I am bored I do it a lot - but too much freestroking will make it sore.

[Michiganman2cali]

Was this made on Apr. 1st

[StopTheMoti0n]

gosh freestroke is so hard, and i don't think this video does enough to describe it. i don't exactly know freestroke technique on steel strings, probably less intense, but on nylon it's a beast. this is however a great way to start.

you NLG guys should do some nylon string tutorial videos, maybe some classical

[ymeman12]

[catfishmudflap]

That was nice. Thank you.

[glassballoonlet]

Long nails.... -.-

[kakitk]

must have them if you play on acoustic

[themennisspk]

not necessarily. i find that a lack of nails gives you a different tone :P

[glassballoonlet]

Okay then...

[PMK1002]

or finger picks. i use the same picks i use for the banjo, as did townes van zandt.

[MichaelBradus]

I can never get a good feel for the strings when i use finger picks. I think it would be better to have really long nails or just use your finger tips.

[RabidLarmer]

You don't really need long nails, between one or two millimeters is just nice.

[buhdanugget1]

i agree i dont use my nails at all

[glassballoonlet]

I play little bit on acoustic. I always used fingertips. For me it's more difficult to play with long nails. I thought that's for everyone. And I was a little impaired when he said "must have them". ;D Also long nails sounds not so good to me... Long nails makes loud and kinda wheezy sound and finger tips makes soft sound.

[ChillpointNews]

Love the melody he plays in the intro. Also, that's a great sounding acoustic.

[atshapi13]

Nice

[frmc1473]

[dsman7981]

Nobody cares about who's comments are first. I find it sad that being the first to comment actually brings you joy, especially when the comment consists of nothing but "first" or "first comment". How about commenting something actually related to the video? Like...

Great lesson on fingerstyle/picking. I love Simon & Garfunkel but some songs' fingerstyle is beyond me. This video helped me a lot! Thanks! :)
