I've just been watching some of your stuff Cim and I love it. I particularly like the song 'Childhood' I can hear many influences in your playing yet you have a unique and original sound. I look forward to hearing more.

Out of interest Cim have you always played with long nails on your right hand? I've tried it but its not for me. I was using Alaska finger pics for a while but I couldn't get the sound i was looking for. Now I rarely use a thumbpick unless the song really needs it. Your sound with your nails is exactly what i was going for but couldn't get. I am happy now with my sound so it's not something i'll try again, just interested.

I have always played with nails, except for some short period when I tried to play with flesh. I have also used alaska pik, they were good but you have to file them a bit. The thing with nails is that you cant just grow them out, you have to know what angle you use and how to adapt that on your playing. I am extremely picky with my tone so I have spent hours creating different techniques. I hope that answers your question

Your playing is wonderful! I know what you men about having to shape your nails to get the proper tone. My nails are pretty thin so I think I need to try some nail hardener and see how it goes.
Again, I love listening to you play!

Really nice of you to do this. As you asked I would be interested in studies that cover various kinds of slapping/percussive (more strings than body)/tapping techniques especially where these are combined with conventional techniques. I'm working on a couple of pieces that use such techniques but I think it would probably more efficient to master the techniques first via appropriate studies before trying to use them in pieces. Just a suggestion. I look Forward to giving all the other stuff a try as well.

I'd like to make a request since you offered, and demonstrated your willingness to follow through:
I am working on learning/improving Travis Picking over the summer. Thus far, I have learned and applied some Travis Picking patterns, but haven't really dug into Travis Picking as a broader technique. This may not be your thing, but I thought I'd put it out there since you offered. I'd love some studies in a similar vein as those you posted here that deepened my knowledge of Travis Picking techniques more broadly than particular songs that use a Travis Picking pattern that I kind of learn by rote. I've been looking over those studies, they seem to get at some of the same ideas, which is one reason why I look forward to playing with them, but they are very cool for their own reasons. Study 1 reminds me of Fernando Sor's B minor study in a lot of ways, with great variations that I think can teach me a lot! I studied classical for about a year to expand my finger-style chops (I'm sold on PIMA, and the sitting position with the guitar as a result), but I'm ready to dig back into finger-style playing. For me, it's different, perhaps not as much so for a pro like you, but while much of the skill set transfers, a lot is also distinctive for me. I don't know if that makes since, but thanks again for these studies, and your great music! pt Last edited by PhillipT; 06-07-2016 at 02:31 PM.
