Do you still play chords by striking the notes simultaneously using the fleshy part of all four fingers?
Yes, unless I need to do what I call “scrubbing,” or running the pick across the strings so it is sequential rather than one event. But when playing chords I like to hear all of the notes at the same time, unless the composition calls for something else.
Have you ever experimented with fingerpicking?
No, I’ve never developed any kind of skill with that. It’s funny, now that you mention it, I don’t think I ever thought about doing that. I hear chords moving like they would on a piano rather than something where you go from one string to another, like on a banjo, where basically you arpeggiate everything. | Do you still play chords by striking the notes simultaneously using the fleshy part of all four fingers?
