I love your W I D E variety of guitar styles. Do you ever finger pick steel string guitars? If so, how do you protect your nails from damage from the harder string material? Thanks!

+primoroy1 I do use fingerstyle with steel string, but I don't do anything special for my nails. I have pretty heavy nails and I don't use the steel string with fingers for a long enough time to cause significant damage. I know Michael Chapdelain from University of New Mexico (he also won both the GFA and national fingerpicking competitions - great player) plays steel string with fingernails extensively and he uses acrylic nails. I know plenty of flamenco players that use acrylic as well. It is extremely resilient for heavy playing, but does have a different tone from what you may be used to. I haven't really needed to go that route personally though.

flamenco thumb sound is by keeping the thumb from moving and by pushing your hand down to generate power from the arm.

Hi which Guitar support/ strap are you using?

[@DVSPress]

+michael young It is a Murata GR-2B from Japan. I do recommend it.

This is not flamenco thumb technique.
