Hi Neil, do you recommend this strum technique to players of blues and rock? Can it replace using a pick completely for these genres? I'm having a difficult time getting comfortable with a pick. Thanks.

[@neilchanmusic]

Hey there, yes you can use this fingerstyle strumming for any genre, as long as you've decided to use fingerstyle rather than a pick. There are many blues and rock guitarists who use fingerstyle technique. As for replacing a pick, yes it can, but it's a matter of preference.

Hi Neil, which finger to use for down strum and which one to use during up strum?

[@neilchanmusic]

Index for down, thumb for up. Use the back of the nail.

I’m left-handed… I want to get a classic guitar designed for left handed people but I don’t know what to pick up…
There’s Yamaha C40 lefthand but is there any other better than this?
Please guide me

Are you intending to play fingerstyle or classical music? If you're planning to play fingerstyle music, you may want to consider a steel string
