How does a trained pick style guitarist go temporally insane and end up making a finger style CD? It can help to break your right leg so you have to play off your left leg. Finding the large steel string guitar too cumbersome against your cast, could lead you to pick up that old classical given to you on your high school graduation. Being too difficult to limp back over to get your pick, you give up and use your fingers. One thing leads to another and despite the minor details, you find you have enough material for a CD.
As with many guitarist, years were spent studying the flat pick masters. Bluegrass wizards; Rice, Skaggs, Crary, Jazz Idols like The Three M's, Martino, Metheny, Montgomery. However, my finger style was limited. I did study some ragtime and old style blues playing while in school in Boston, but technique left some to the imagination for this CD. I married the chord melody playing for my jazz studies with a bit of my some what unorthodox finger style. The result is a bit of hybrid mix. Most could be played with pick and fingers, but I chose fingers only for this setting.
