Re: (TV) Fingerstyle



I believe TV was playing without a pick at the recent Bowery Ballroom
show. Any one else notice?
My 17 year old son recently saw Jeff beck play with no pick on
television & was completely awed by it. He is a fledgling player
himself.
Actually a lot of the old blues men used no pick.

At the time of the reunion tour, Tom was quoted in Guitar Player as saying
he was playing with his fingers more - I believe he said if he didn't like
the first bar of what he was playing, he's drop the pick and use his
fingers.  I wan't able to see this tour, so maybe someone else can
corroborate this?  I do remember some hybrid picking at the recent Seattle
show, but most of his playing that night was with a pick. I've never seen
him play acoustic so I can't comment there.
