    I was first introduced to an electric guitar in 1985 when my neighbour played a black Fender stratocaster via a Marshall 100W tube amp, volume cranked up. This mental memory has never left me, it was so awesome to witness it! Nothing like it! Fast forward to this day when I see this video, this is a similar a-ha moment! I never thought I would learn something new about electric guitars after about 40 years I've been using them, but I did learn a lot when watching this video! Well done pal!! Keep up the great work!

    I'm originally a bass player but now playing the electric guitar at church. Can't play with a pick to save my life and have been using the PIMA style. I did have to resort to using a thumb pick because the electric steel strings were wearing down my index and middle finger nail beds from strumming.

    Dont be picky use your fingers. Theres so many styles to use them. Also look at „the thumb“ abasi. Also a les paul helps. Love my stratt but it tends to funk. Tends to play 16ths. Whole notes. Dude your great. Wish id found you years ago. Went pickless 2 years ago. Went to a rec session, afterwards noticed i forgot the pick… what string gage you got?

    Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band also played without a pick.

    What a bad ass! JJN is the best! I started playing more without my picks and i practice without them as much as i possibly can. I'm still not at JJN level obviously with the comfort but the more i play the easier it gets. I saw him with John 5 a few years ago and since then I realized you could rock your ass off without one. I also realized that my favorite guitarists used Telecasters which was a surprise considering i listen to a ton of harder rock. So here i am, no pick playing metal on a Tele, if you told me when i was growing up that would ever happen i would have laughed.

  • @darrelladams4886
    @darrelladams4886 9 месяцев назад

    There’s so much that goes into getting a good sound with electric fingerstyle. You have to experiment with the how and where your fingers touch the strings. A slight angle shift can change a lot. How you dial in your tone matters a lot too and the tone knob can be your best friend. There will also be muting issues you need to figure out solutions for

    1:31 - Hi GuitarGuitar, I don't understand how Jared is playing rhythm with his right hand. Is he using his index finger fingernail to strum and chug, or is he using his thumb?
    I've played with my fingers a lot over the years (decades), but for rhythm playing I never did find a method to give me attack that didn't wear down and chip my fingernails. Jared has found the secret though!

    • @guitarguitaruk
      @guitarguitaruk  Год назад +1

      Looks as though he's doing a bit of both! Mostly thumb though we'd imagine. What's interesting is that he plays as if he's holding an invisible pick... such a great technique that has to be seen to be believed.

    • @ForViewingOnly
      @ForViewingOnly Год назад

      @@guitarguitaruk That's really interesting, because I use a "holding an invisible pick" technique, but when I do it, my index finger is the pick that gets attack on the string... but the attack comes from the index fingernail, which gets shredded if I do it too often. I only do it if I don't have a pick to hand, or if I've dropped the pick and need to finish the song, or if I'm mainly playing a song fingerstyle. Man, Jared is an amazing find for me... he stands out a mile amongst millions of RUclips clone guitarists. Thanks for the video.

    I really do think his sound is great. He has vintage les Paul’s. But he sounds every bit as good when he’s playing an epiphone. I wish I could develop my finger picking. I can work the thumb and index in. But the middle and ring. Nope lol. I’ll never have his speed with it. But anyhow. His tone is unmatched right now.

I was contacted by a person suggesting the scenario that the guitar was claimed on insurance. No evidence support. If that "is" right...the insurance company owns the Les Paul. Please hv my back musicians. What if this was yours?
