Ya, he's spot on. It takes time, and patience. Patience to get past some bumps, like; playing some passage pretty well at home, only to crash and burn at the jam. Or; someone calls a song in your wheel house, but in Bb, instead of C, and you ain't worked it out in a different fingering.
I'm the guy that knows 100 fiddle tunes but haven't mastered the up/down ... I'm working on picking skills: forward slant, rest strokes, pick grip.... I have to force myself to play VERY SLOW so I ca pay greater attention to pick direction. Thanks for your lessons.
Strum machine is awesome, I use it everyday. Also, add Blake and Rice 2 to your library, it rivals any guitar album of any genre imo, and Doc Watson: A Retrospective are my two favourites.
@@Rowen170 Crosspicking is Flatpicking. It just refers to doing alternate picking “across” adjacent strings. Check out the video I did last week on 5 picking exercises and watch the last one to really get a feel for what crosspicking is. Thanks
Happy New Year to your new family Aaron. I can’t keep up with you man, way too much great stuff. What’s the second break/song you’re playing on this lesson?
@aaronjaxonguitar do you think they use upstrokes with thumbpicks? Not shure if i need to develop an upstroke thumb picking technique for those kinds of songs.

@@CowboyBobDuke That’s cool though. You’ve got the repertoire side dialed in so now just hammer technique for a bit and you’ll be deadly 🤟🙏👍

@@bdm50 Thanks Brian! That’s June Apple. I did a lesson on that one a few weeks ago
Im trying to learn bluegrass, but fingerstyle... No pick no thumb pick. You think ill be restrained somehow?
@@sk8pkl Not sure. I’ve seen Tommy Emmanuel and Doyle Dykes do a kind of fingerstyle bluegrass but they both use thumb picks.

Great teacher !
Speed and articulation may be the biggest drawbacks to fingerstyle only. Plus you would never be heard in a jam.
@ Thanks so much James!!
