Are those Alaska finger picks you're using? I've skipped over that brand because I was nervous about them. How do you like them, if that's what they are?

[KeniLeeBurgess]

@chrishpippin Thank you for your interest and question. No, these are not Alaska finger picks. They are the standard plastic finger picks that are commomly available. Plastic picks tend to have longer blades, making digging into the strings easier. They also fit tighter and don't slip off like metal picks. Although for comfort, I wear standard National style banjo picks too. Enjoy your practice.

What tuning are you in on this song.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

@alphasxsignal Thank you for your interest and question. I am using Vestapol Tuning aka Open D (DADf#ad) low to high. Although, I am tuned down a whole step to the key of C (CGCegc). If you are interested in learning this style, please check out my instructional video CD 1 on ebay by searching: keni lee On this CD, I teach songs in this tuning and also explain how to create your own renditions of songs. Enjoy

@alphasxsignal Thank you for your interest and question. I have no pick up installed. I play mainly acoustically. If I need sound reenforcement, I use a mic and amp. Enjoy.

[alphasxsignal]

Do you have a pickup installed in yours. I don't see it on top like the one

I have on mine. Maybe you put one inside or just using a mic on it.

The one that they put one isn't bad but not that sensitive. I might look around

and see what other types I could put on there.

[alphasxsignal]

Great song and now I have a Republic likes your too and love it.

@talc89a Thank you for your response. Don't feel obligated to purchase my CDs. I post this information to help people who are interested learn to play. I appreciate the generosity of those who do purchase my music CD and instructional video CDs because it makes it possible for me to continue this work. Supporting me, helps not only me, but you and everyone else too. Enjoy your practice.
