Do You Practice With An Amp? What Do You Think Of This Method?

Without Amp

I practice unplugged and would agree with some points on technique and tone.
Gary Willis would disagree, he turns up very loud and develops control over dynamics.
Something I'm noticing in your technique is the bent right wrist, tendons are having to work through a 90deg angle. Holding elbow higher will straighten it, or sitting bass on the opposite knee and holding neck higher.

Yh It's Like That Because Of The Weird Angle I Have To Sit In Order To Record These Videos. It's Better When I'm Playing Normally

When I first started in the 70s, I had no amp ... for a couple of years. Considering that I was playing a solid body electric, that's saying something!
