Fingerstyle really to me just means playing the guitar with your fingers and not using a flat pick. If you hold a pick with your thumb and your index finger you limit yourself to certain styles and possibilities. Country, jazz, classical, etc. These styles can be played with a fingerstyle approach. The flat pick is like a violin bow to the guitarist enabling the musician to play fast single note phrases. Thanks for your interest.
I love how there's a 335 just sitting right there.. Hop on that thing and put it to good use! I know you know that thing has such a sweet, thick tone!
An ES-175. Maple laminate full-hollow body, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, two classic '57 humbucking pickups. It debuted in 1949, and--if I recall correctly--it's the oldest electric guitar still in production. Generally speaking, the ES-175 is to jazz music what the Les Paul is to rock music.
I think the Gibson has more of a classic jazz tone and the Gretsch more for country and rock. But George Van Eps used a Gretsch 7 string for his brand of jazz.
Hello John
SOoooo...Love your music.
But I wanna know what is the difference between fingerstye guitar (no singing? Im I right?) and the solo that harmonize the vocal?
Thank you.
