Well there is Tony McManus who plays a bit of a different style but still a master, just different style

"Turd Finger."

@@jaystretch01 well thatvis Elizabethan English, we didn't go with what the court dictated, so when you slag first understand what you are talking about

John Doyle (as far as I am aware) normally plays in drop d. He's definitely in drop d here.

thanks

never seen anyone make simple gcd chords so complicated

Because Irish Trad doesn't use a lot of standard open chords for rhythm

I think he's describing a Jim Dunlop vinyl pick (which read "USA Nylon" on the back). They have a textured grip, and are not as hard (solid? brittle? unyielding) as an acetate pick. Vinyl is gentler than acetate, I'd say it 'slides' off the strings more freely, the trade off is a small loss of sharpness. For acoustic steel guitar: ... 0.60mm is "moderately soft". 0.73mm vinyl is firmer, and (I find) the minimum necessary to play with moderate attack, without taking skin off your knuckles. They do go lighter but I couldn't recommend: on steel strings, the smaller gauge just folds around your finger. (But I guess it prevents a blister). I've been using Jim Dunlop vinyl picks for years for acoustic strumming. You'd need min 0.73 Vinyl for 'clean' electric picking, but I think acetate comes into it's own when you can moderate aggression by winding back the amp.

That makes infinitely more sense. None the less, my friends are gullible and I'm going to continue telling them that their guitars are strung opposite in the UK to match the driving.

Paul Baker Salt Shaker of course they are! You have to be able to put the guitar neck out the window while driving so it doesn't hit your passenger.

A trick: watch series on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

@Aidan Ernesto yup, been using kaldroStream for since december myself :)
