Thank you kindly! I worked really hard on this video and it just didn’t get the views but then again how many people are actually gonna play with a thumb pic?

You know I was just thinking about this video. I wish I'd gotten more views. Then again, maybe about 400 people know who Brent is. Oh well… Glad you got something out of it!

learning flamenco style is a great start to using the fingers for picking and especially picking with all fingers on a single string

That's true, Eric! It's just that it doesn't fit with this style AT ALL!Then again, you can always find examples of how it could , but from my perspective this is a thing all unto itself! Thank you so Much for taking the time to watch this video and I hope you do subscribe as it would be great to have you onboard!

Colin! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this video! I actually made a new thumbnail because I felt that not enough people were giving this a gander. It's nice to know that it was appreciated by somebody. A lot of these secrets that I put in this video we're hard fought and it's nice to know that somebody appreciates all the time it took to make this! Please share this video if you think that I could help somebody else and do subscribe it would be great to have you on board!

Great video thanks! Been playing Brent's style for awhile now and like you probably, I've spent a lot of time watching him pick. On a number occasion I've noticed brent down picking a lot of the notes on the wound strings as opposed to alternating between thumb and fingers. and he also switches back and forth between flat picking and his style on songs. seems to happen more on rocky bluesy stuff.
@streetwiseguitar5113 Жыл бұрын
Indeed, Kevin! He actually does a lot of down picks everywhere depending upon what it is that he's playing. But like you said, usually the more rock stuff you'll see that! If you look at some of my videos in the #shorts you'll see that I use the thumb pic actually more like a flat pic these days. I'm in economy picker, so that requires a lot of upkeep! Actually I think all sorts of picking requires upkeep whether it's Brents style or whatever. I just wish that this video got more airborne. There's nobody who has explained all the things that I have explained in this video on KZfaq. And for people who are interested in playing the style, I believe the information can save them years of frustration! Oh well… Not every video is a winner! But, I'm certainly happy that you enjoyed it!

@@streetwiseguitar5113 a lot of value in this video for ppl wanting to learn his style, definitely help players bypass a lot of pain. And its great how you demonstrated the speed picking using that style. Its a definite winner, I was just adding to it by providing some of my own observations of his playing. I think the essence of Brent's playing technique is efficiency even with his left hand technique which is a little astray from convention. For country bending and picking the thumb pick seems to be the best way to go, just gives a player so much freedom. Interestingly, I think Jerry Reed was the originator of the style to some degree which makes sense since Brent has noted him as a big influence of his.
