That's a good point where a few of you have pointed out some of the speedy classical and flamenco artists. Where I suggested a FLATpicker is faster.
I can't really disagree with that. I guess I'm thinking of pure BLAZING speed for minutes at a time. And the aspect of amplification as well. A flamenco player is most likely playing solo, so he/she can do as they please with the volume and such. However you put that fingerpicker into a concert scenario with other instruments in a live performance and the fingers cannot do what a pick can do in that situation. You probably disagree with that, too. LOL
Its all a wash. I like both styles. The one fellow who said the learning curve from fingerpicker to flatpicker is shorter than the reverse .......AMEN TO THAT!
