….not exclusively but nearly 50 percent of the time I ditch the flatpick on my Santa Cruz Tony Rice standard…it’s a Dreadnought that’s well suited to it….when I want to add some depth to the tone on my fingerstyle playing…especially in open and drop tunings it’s the bees knees…..kinda like a bigger sounding OM….
…conversely…I use flatpicks on my smaller bodied guitars…but only about 20 percent of the time….
….I tend to play the smaller ones when I play jazz blues and old school classic country…(Hank or earlier)….thats most of the time for me….when I play either bluegrass or the music I grew up with from 60’s and 70’s…(much of which is finger-picked)....i like a dread or jumbo to hit the sweet spot….
