Richard Thompson Acoustic Guitar Lesson - Right Hand Techniques | ELIXIR Strings

[@MrTimdriver]

I love this dude.

[@Atmost11]

Timely information. My other thinking on this was that my pinky should take the low note and my middle and ring take the two upper notes, while holding the pick and not using it, this other recommendation is a strategy with merit. My reason for doing this is because of my great interest in learning a song by Fairport Convention, the, the the Great! The Awesome. And yes I will say it. The Divinely Mandated.

Jeeze what a talent RT, freeking amazing.

[@ElixirStringsMedia]

Thanks for watching!

I use hybrid all the time for maximum flexibility of accompaniments
But dont forget you still have R H little pinky for 3 note chord against plectrum bass as well as single 3 finger trills

If this is the Richard Thompson who recorded Matty Groves with Fairport Convention, the guy's a genius

[@ConradHeiney]

that's your guy

@@ConradHeiney Is there a better guitarist unplugged? RT is more famous for electric, but I wonder. If Jansch was called the best unplugged, where then is RT :) Feels strange to see him like this, like Dylan peacefully promoting strings...

@@hni4053 the "small town romance"" album is worth a listen if you like RT's acoustic style

[@hni4053]

@@ConradHeiney Hi Conrad, so great to meet a friend like you here. RT has been a house god of mine since the late 60s, in fact I've got two lp copies of the Small TR ha ha. You stay healthy in these days!

[@AQuags]

It is, he is.

[@stevenhall9762]

Richard, you might consider trying out a Strum-n-Comfort pick. Seems to me it
would match your playing style quite well.

[@chrisbasile]

Thanks, but r and l phase error makes it hard to listen

[@christoguichard4311]

I play exactly the same.
