This is a very interesting discussion and figuring out the best way probably lies at the heart of whether I will get to the "next level". I've been holding the pick much the way Stephan's first 2 pictures showed, except, like Roger says makes a big…

- Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
- Classical guitarist turned flatpicker, I still play a lot of fingerstyle as well, having transferred my technique over to Americana styles. Doc is definately my main influence and inspiration for the switch.
Technically, I am following the principles Steve Kaufman lays out in his many instructional materials. His ideas on how to approach picking work for me.
I have a Doc Watson Gallagher and a 71 Special Gallagher as well.

- Kaufman Kamp sounds like fun. I wish I could be there. Instead, I'll be on a mower seat most of the week. Every year I eoy with driving over one day to sort of meet and greet, and pick a little. Sanity and time constraints have won so far! It's about 4 hours one way for me from mid NC. Have twice as much fun for me!

- Hey Dale!
Nice Music! The Vision reminds me a lot of old Simon & Garfunkel, good stuff. I remember you from over on AF.

- Nice - looking forward to it. I'll be driving up with my sister Cath, a fiddle player, and rooming with my buddy Mark Ulrich. Safe travels!

- Hey Dale - Guess I'm a little slow, but I just got around to listening to the tunes on your profile. Really nicely done!
Are you going to be at Kamp this year? I'll be at Week 1. Hope to see you there.
Best,
Joe

Rich Guilmette said… - Hi Dale,
Just got home today. My mother was in the hospital. Now that she is home, she can't live alone any more. I'm heading back next week until the 14th when Paul will be there. I will bring my guitar down so he can use it while he is up from Florida. My mother lives about 100 miles from my house.
Thanks for the music. You have a super voice and I enjoyed listening to it. Hope you don't mind if I send them to Paul, he will also love them.
Where can I get a CD?
Thanks Again
Rich

Alison said… - I am a classical player, too! I also play rock though. I try to combine techniques as best I can.

- Hey Dale - sadly, I've had to pass on Kamp this time because of a work deadline that shifted, though. Keep an eye out for my buddy Mark Ulrich from Houston, however. He's attending both weeks-and I mentioned your finger picking on Deep River Blues and Southbound. I hope he'll say hello at some point.
Best,
Joe

Steve, my office is across the street from Dusty Strings in Seattle and it turns out they have a D18GE in stock. I had not even noticed it but picked it up. The neck takes some getting used to (or probably for me the bigger adjustment is tied to a 1…
Extremely Tasteful!! Nicely played. Thanks for posting it..
Sorry to get a little off topic :-( I realized it once I clicked the Add Reply button..
I like what you said about being able to afford a 20 Dollar Hygrometer... if you can spend 4 grand on a box.. and you can't spend the little bit of money on the…
Great stuff !... Very atmospheric the way you play this tune...love it !!
Dedicated to those of us who are just getting started.
So what you are talking about here Jon, is not what I started the thread for( but it IS a nice aside!) You NEED to know what your humidity is at in your house were your axe lives. That is what the Hygrometer is for. There are all kinds of threads ev…
I've never had a gauge that I've used for any of my guitars, but what I have done which only costs a few dollars is to get a travel soap box and a sponge to use as a small humidifier that I keep in my case.
It's works really well and fits perfectly…
Really nice. Great to see someone slowing down and being tasty.
I have to admit I do like D'addarios, once I get my callouses back I may move up to ej17's
