  1. Hey is that a M body style Martin?!?

  2. Thanks for this. Please say more about your right hand technique.

  3. RE: Finger Picks. . .

    • Once you have established a comfort level with finger picks, you can really get some great clear "Bell Like" sounds out of the strings with a bit more punch, but also gentleness, than without them. They make the strings ring out a bit more as well.

    • Be versatile, play the appropriate songs without them, and some songs with them.

    • It can take some getting used to, but you will know when you are there. Don’t give up!
