GIG Fingerpicked?

Post by GreyStreet41 »

Just curious. I'm trying to learn GIG and wondering if that was fingerpicked or not. It sounds like it is, but I just want to make sure.

Yeah, he uses a pick on where are you going...but then again, he also uses a pick on everyday sometimes too and that's the same type of fingerpicking...so if you mess with it, you could probably use a pick for Grace is Gone but it won't sound as good as it does if fingerpicked... :)

he generally fingerpicks wayg when he's playing solo. when he plays with the band he usually uses a pick. of course, there are exceptions, but thats generally how it goes.
