Mighty Sparrow's "Melda (Obeah Wedding)"

This is one of my favorites from one of the greatest, if not the greatest, calypso composer and singer.

[mixedbreedvibes]

would you classify the style of guitar you are playing as classical?

[chappahx]

@mixedbreedvibes It's calypso on a classical guitar, so in the true sense of the word "classical' no.

[mixedbreedvibes]

@chappahx i know its calypso I'm just going to take guitar lesson and I wanted to know what style would constitute finger picking the melodies for songs like this since I am from the caribbean....ANyway well done with the tune keep posting some vids they sound good....especially the classics like this one

[chappahx]

@mixedbreedvibes yeah, classical guitar would be one way to learn. Fingerpicking is not restricted to classical though. You can do the same with jazz too. Either way, good luck

[chappahx]

@mixedbreedvibes but I did try teaching myself classical guitar so I'm using a lil bit of what I've learnt here
