Are they acrylic nails?

[GuitarStudentsAtUWM]

@PearTree37067 I've used both. The thumb looks really thick there so yeah I probably had an acrylic overlay for this video

[Tman4000]

and I love how he laughs until he starts playing, then it's all serious :D

[daf827]

Fantastic! Must have been a bitch to learn, even with the Stropes TAB! You have Leo's right hand technique mastered. Great job!

[andrewlardner]

@saculvad Well if I ever get another 12-string I'll give it a shot just for you my friend

[saculvad]

...that's what I play :]

[saculvad]

...you have a nack for the man, I gotta say that :]

....do it onna 12srting, then I'll be impressed :]



[andrewlardner]

@saculvad I reckon I could but I don't think I'd care to. I think this is one of those pieces Leo never much played on a 12-string.

[saculvad]

...awesome.....now, can you do it on 12 string? :]

[andrewlardner]

@TheRemdog101 Hey Remdog, I went ahead and put the relevant information for you in the video description.

[TheRemdog101]

where can i find a tab or music for this song?

[asajan55]

Great sound!This is Martin's sound .

[iadmike]

i've had the eight songs book for like ten years...i'm still tackling this song....slowly but surely...hehe

[inky960]

Great picking - and love the Martin's sound ... or the sound you pull out of it. Love the missing pick guard, too. Ha. You know, you have that unusual, "darning needle"-shaped thumb, just like Kottke's. Looks double-jointed or something -- very advantageous for this kind of picking, I'd imagine. I have a short stumpy thumb, but still I love to finger pick. All in all though, I'd trade thumbs with ya. : )
