Hi dw! I am surprised that one of the many gurus around here haven’t chimed in.On lesson 4 with the 2 note chords, does anyone use rest strokes? Or are rest strokes not used in blues?
I find they also help me keep track of where my pick is in relation to the strings. Plus they are pretty much mandatory for playing chord melodies with a plectrum.A picking style where the finger or plectrum plucks a string and ends up resting directly on the adjacent string. The name rest stroke is used because the finger ends up resting on the adjacent string. This is usually (?) only really referred to in classical guitar.
Aha, thanks for the info... not what I was thinking. I only remember Griff saying that he likes to use his fingers and pluck smaller chords to make them sound "pianistic." Funny how many different terms and techniques there are just to pluck a string!
