The Thompson material was referring to songs, not tunes, so it doesn't apply to your request. |

Michael Dowdle has some great melodic tunes, played hyrbid-style.

Look up Charlie Rauh, some demos for Collings and La Bella strings, and his own YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owKT...&frags=pl%2Cwn Question: Is it easier for a flat picker to put his two unused fingers into action for hybrid picking, or for a finger picker to pick up a flat pick and use his two remaining fingers to hybrid-pick?

I never really thought about it. I played with just a pick for years before I picked up hybrid picking. I'd guess they'd both be helpful, but it's a skill that needs to be practiced like any other. I have acrylic nails on my middle and ring fingers. Without that, it sounds like I got one live note and 2 dull ones.

I will say, though, that while I marvel at hybrid pickers, especially the Danny Gatton/Johnny Hiland variety the OP isn't interested in, but really all of them, I find the ergonomics of using the middle and ring finger while holding a pick with the thump and index to be really inefficient. I think it puts a strain on the tendons of the middle and ring fingers. But people do it, and do it well. There is a really nice flexibility to being able to immediately switch between solely using a flatpick and using fingers to pluck the strings. |

Some of Chet Atkins stuff is on nylon strung guitars. I only know one or two songs Chet has ever sung on. But, if you want to know who inspired a LOT of the players you are looking at, including Tommy, this is where to start. Same with Jerry Reed. He does sing a lot of his stuff, but not all. Al Dimeola never sings, but I'm not sure his style is the type of picking you're looking for. Check him out.

Look up Craig Ventresco on YouTube. He's amazing.

Marc Ribot uses the technique at times.

Interesting, I did wonder if anyone played ragtime this way (given that it's much harder than fingers only/thumbpick etc) and this is a good example. Ah yes, Julian Lage I'd forgotten about him. I remember him featured in a guitar mag a while back. Great guitarist for sure, and I've checked his stuff out before but musically it doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

"Strict Tempo!" is indeed all instrumental, but did not have the appeal that labeled some of his songs as brilliant works, and covered by many other artists.
I first purchased "Strict Tempo!" as an import LP, as that was the only way it was available in the U.S. for quite some time. I added the CD version later when it became available. "Strict Tempo" has a few of my favorite Thompson tunes, including the delicious, but traditional "Banish Misfortune", but also some of his best electric guitar work presented as "The Knife Edge". A prolific artist, some of his best material is only available in the less well known albums such as the French, Frith, Kieser, Thompson collaborations. |
