As a beginner-intermediate still trying to feel comfortable and still working on the basics ths was the best video! thankyou and your smile at the end to just relax go to zen place bc i realize just how tense i've been playing bc i 'want it so badly' but as i learned this won't get my anywhere, so again thankyou! just discovered you!
@Jen, thank you for your videos. I love your style so much I've been a fan from when I first watched you on Mahalo some time ago showing us Everybody hurts by REM. More recently I watched a couple of videos where you were interviewed pre and post surgery and I found them compelling and insightful thank you for sharing your story and educating us. I have just finished watching this and I have to say you have changed even more since the part 2 interview in an even better way, your style, playing and demeanor is lighter and your confidence and body language is infinitely higher, like a weight has been lifted. So happy and pleased for you thank you and keep inspiring us.
I seen lots of guitar teachers, also them that are most popular on You Tube such as JS & MZ, but first time I saw this technique. Now I'm snapping off water from ducks back and sweeping up afterwards. I used to sop breathing a lot when I was younger. Must have been lot of tense moments. I always thought it was asthma. I hate feeling like suffocation. But I like licking ice lollipop, refreshing moments we all deserve them sometimes.
Any advice on how to relax strumming arm on smaller acoustic guitars? Finding it very difficult when just the forearm can touch the bout. The arm will just slip down when I'm not holding it 🙈😑

I will be following you, for sure. Just starting out. There's so much to learn and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks so much.

Which picks do you use?
Thin (ca. 0.73) or thick (1.5 +)?
The same picks for acoustic and electric?
The same for all genres?
