Tastefully done bro on a lovely piece.

Hi Eric - thanks very much!!

I started learning a few plectrum pieces last year for a change to fingerstyle and I quite enjoy it. Not least because I enjoy the sound better than I produce with my fingers I think.

I'm so impressed with your control of dynamics, the little asides between main lines that can barely be heard. Its a bit more expected in fingerstyle, but the way you weave together soft and firm with a flatpick seems magical to me.

Thanks Fran, that's kind of you to say so. Yes, I find dynamics are way, way harder to do using a pick that finger picking. In fact I can play this piece very nicely with my fingers 😊
