i use a brushing technique with my index finger which you can hear behind the melody notes and also do this percussive thing using a sharp downstroke with the fingernail of my middle finger from time to time. this does give it a dulcimer feel as you mentioned. what does not come through the video real well is the bass notes being played with the thumb. you can hear them but no where near as loud and clear as live. |

Location: big island | GWB, in reality i messed up a few times during that clip. the first time is when i smirk and wipe my finger on my pants. since i am still getting used to the narrow necks on my adamas and this guitar, i do not hit some of the notes plainly and i can hear strings rattling agains my fingernails. those are the things that just add color/character to the music though, like string friction. some folks are very technical, clean players. i ain't one. mahalo, GWB. |
