He makes it look so easy.
the dynamics of the no pick thing is phenomenal and at a completely other higher level.
Like watching / hearing someone fluently speak a language I cant and probably will never understand.

I started out fingerpicking because Mom did and there were no picks in the house. My first pick was a plastic bread closure....I'm not a stellar finger picker, i tend to play like my Mom taught me - plucking with the thumb and index or middle finger in a 'C' shape - but I do write some fingerpicking parts every now and again.

I wrote this finger-style piece for a recent audition for a local music academy.

It's really simple and I would be happy to make you a close-up video if you want to work on the technique.

that is VERY nice indeed!
 
Love listening to Doug Aldrich with Dio...


Then a colleague sent me this link of Craig Goldy and told me this was how I sounded Monday night when I played the song live...tone, phrasing even the pick slide harmonic.

I went back and listened to one of my Holy Diver videos and he's right!!!


What a cool compliment!!!!

This has been in my commute / study deck this week.
digging it.


Funny this is the first time I really ever noticed, or consciously took notice of player switch pickups in the middle of a solo.
@ / around 4:20 of Still Got the Blues from neck to I guess bridge, or maybe both but I think its bridge.
I have not watched this; just listening.

Thanks guys for talking up Gary here, prompting me to listen. Lotsa Albert King in there too.

Gary's most phenomenal live sound:.

Rick Derringer and Rik Emmett were known for mid solo pickup switches....
