Am I copping out by fingerpicking
Angie by The Rolling Stones? I feel more comfortable and accurate using fingers for the individual notes and a finger nail for the strums.

Would love to be able to play Angie, with a pick, Ebow, fingers, or whatever?

You use what works.

It depends what you want out of your playing. If all you want is fingerpicking then no. If you want to be well rounded, I think it's valuable to learn how to play with a pick so yes.

As Nymuso writes, you use what works! If you want to mimic the original exactly then trying to play like Richards et al is good practice. On the other hand, to make the interpretation yours then a finger- or hybrid style as you described is fun and effective!

Do your own thing, brother. That may be how Keith or someone else does it, or it may not. You are your own player/artist.

I concur with Hatamoto. I've decided fingerpicking, which I am better at, is taking the easy way out, which is never a good idea when you want to expand your skills. Therefore using a pick will be the way I will go on this song to get better at using a pick.
Thank you for all your comments! Last edited by Cecil6243; 05-28-2021 at 11:26 AM. |

Great thread. “Angie” is one of my favorites from my childhood years and it’s on my shortlist to learn.

I always believe that to get better you have to do things you're not familiar with, otherwise it's not practice. I ignored playing with a pick for a few years when I first started and my only regret is that I should have started earlier. Fingerpicking still feels like home, but they're slowly becoming even. When I was pure fingerpicking, it was frustrating to not be able to get a good percussive attack with single line playing. What I've been working on is developing a hybrid style like Chris Buck, switching between fingers and pick on the fly. I personally find this the best for me right now. There's a bit of a learning curve because the index finger can't be used for fingerpicking, but I find this particularly effective for keeping the pick in place and secure. The traditional hybrid picking may work for me for simple lines, but it requires me to have the ring finger of my middle phalangeal joint more curved. I have an injury there and the constant curling and extending pops my finger and it hurts. I need to have it more extended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w15wfdwarUw&t=327s Last edited by hatamoto; 05-30-2021 at 09:16 PM. |

I made a donaton tonight for $25.00 and asked for Angie by the Stones and Rebel Rebel by David Bowie. I may be generous, but I want Andy to stick around for tutorials.
