The guitar doesn't determine greatness. The musician playing the instrument. does.

he just didn't have a pick handy, so he played anyway...take that, you guys who obsess over gear!

I've followed George since 1973 and to see him up and close

@mamachip George Benson plays without a pick more often than not. I'm sure he had a pick on him.

@woodlist Well by that infallible logic; teeth would be considered gear also. Good one.

[bluewaterpig]

@mamachip he normally plays without a pick buddy.

@suckemgood

That's like saying it doesn't matter what kind of strings you use. Everything connected to the guitar is personal to the particular player. You look for a sound you want and you strive to get it, even if it means picking the strings with your teeth.

He shows up at NAMM, picks up a guitar, screws da pick, and plays Tenderly without any issues.... this dudes sick

@mamachip playing with your thumb is just another technique: it brings a more clear and round sound to your guitar than if you were playing it with a pick.
