i dunno about this carbon fiber Rainsong guitar. sounds pretty nice but very sterile and piezo-ey.
i don't know if I could bond with a gutar that wasn't made of at least some wood...hard to say. looks kinda cool though.

Using picks or fingernails or just your finger pads is a totally subjective choice for a musician. It depends on what kind of sound you want to get. A lot of fingerpickers will tell you that it's all up to you - there's no right or wrong way. This artist, Erik, is great. If you dig his videos you should get his album, it's amazing. I'm a punk-rock dude too, but his playing is just amazing. Good luck everyone!

You're right, it's is impossible to get that crisp attack toeach tone without growing fingernails. It's the same when you play classical guitar, without nails it sounds muffled and sloppy.

pantherman4evea (October 17, 2008 at 6:16 pm)
oh ok. thanks. they just looked like fingernails to me nd i saw someone else who played the same style music nd he had them too nd i thought they it helped when playing this kind of stuff.

You mean just his right hand, right? These are his finger picks, so the sound is a bit more metallic. You can buy picks in a music store, but why buying when the grow on your hand for free? Besides: Long nails do no mean to be gay!!Have a nice day over there!
pantherman4evea (October 16, 2008 at 3:01 pm)

havent you learn yet that there is no one who is able to define exactly how is the correct way to play the guitar?there are no standards in creativity!no restrictions!take for example healy,andress,friedman,garsed,stanley jordan,donahue,hemelrich,hedges they all have an unorthodox style of playing but no one can blame em! plus this form that you say it is horrible is the only suitable for him and maybe the conventional form wont help him to perform this magnificent playing style that you admire!

I've listened to this guy's sort of lonely walking sound many times and I love it.

stumbled upon this guy by accident. AMAZING!!

They definitely broke the mold when they made Erik. Some of the most original sounds I've ever heard in my 50 years of guitar listening.

he tends to use a sort of latin soul an rhythm in his music aswell as tone but uses an almost alternative sort of way he caresses his chord an notes.

handle your guitar like how'd you make love to a woman...latin style...
