Good lesson. I ... ( 3 months ago by maratu654)

Good lesson. I found many Landslide lessons, but they did not sound right. Thanks for teaching. This is going to take some practice to get it fast and automatic and of course the B part is a little different picking pattern...

Good video but it's ... ( 2 months ago by willowmix)

Good video but it's very important to note that using your little finger to rest on the body of the guitar is bad technique and will not only prevent you from get a fluid motion with your picking but will also mean that you cannot play for as long without having to stop due to cramps in that finger, it is hard to train yourself to just let your hand float above the strings but really worth it, seriously try to avoid using your little finger from the start to save alot of work later. xx

I would say it's ... ( 2 months ago by ArthurRotfeld)

I would say it's against classical technique and needs to be used thoughtfully in other styles. For example, consider that Chet Atkins and his disciples use it extensively. I use it--at times--and without any tension/cramps/discomfort.

True, and that's ... ( 2 months ago by willowmix)

True, and that's fair enough, though another reason I'd advise not resting with your finger is so one can position the fingers more directly over the hole which will provide a fuller tone, I suppose outside of classical playing it's more a matter of personal preference.
