Man…. I’ve been a John Oliver fan in the past for sure but this episode is getting me heated. They cherry picked only negative information about it as well as picked interviews with less than reputable/eloquent people to smear it. They could’ve shown clips from a Leaf of Faith but no.
Is John Oliver a big pharma plant?? Hmmmm
Thoughts on technique?
TLDR; does your right hand technique change with changing tempos? I float up until 110ish bom then find myself grazing the strings for more reference and control.
This is about the right hand. Can I have your thoughts on technique changing with different tempos?
I’ll try to keep this short. Longtime lover of bluegrass, multiple failed attempts to learn the style. Dove in in earnest at the beginning of the year and took Bryan Suttons guitsr course for a couple months. Completely relearned right hand technique. I use the floating closed fist style and can get good clean tone this way. This tech works for me up until the tempo passes about 105-110, after which I notice my right hand naturally wants to sit closer to the strings and just now playing big sandy river at 120 I noticed I’m lightly…. Very lightly…. Like just grazing on the strings as I pick and it feels natural and non-“planty” and non restrictive.
I know at the end of the day whatever works works but I’ve just made a real conscious effort to not restrict the right hand with planting so trying to keep in that spirit.
Any thoughts on this? Is this relatable? Any thoughts/concerns?
Happy picking
