Denis, great discussion. I'm relatively new to GJ, coming from a lifetime of classical guitar. But one thing I know: there many ways to use the right hand, and all methods have strengths and weaknesses in how they can solve problems. In the end, it takes time, experimentation, and hard work to figure out what works best for the style or piece of music you want to perform, and your own physical abilities. In classical, it gets even more complicated because of nail shape/angle, free/rest stroke, tremolo, rasgueado, pizzicato and the many ways to use the thumb (including using it as a sort of pick!). In the end, it's good to not be too dogmatic about anything and let the music and sound you want to acheive dictate what you do. Cheers!

I came here for the thumbnail but stayed for the knowledge! Thank you for recording with high FPS so that these videos can be slowed down.
I really appreciate your demonstration on everything of GJ guitar playing techniques!Thx Denis for whatever you shared
Fantastic knowledge for free! Great. Thanks.
bireli, noe and adrien all use the wrist down pretty much exclusively on electric though
like they all do it sometimes on acoustic but almost always for an effect
D-2mm (Dorito picks are great too Denis ) -- you could eat them after your done playing. LOL!😃
