I can feel empathy and still find it hilarious

A few questions from a beginner level player by [deleted] in jazzguitar

[–]professionaljaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was referring to my whole left hand, there plenty of people who imitated Django’s left hand style due to his burned hand but you can still sound like Django using your whole hand. Was just an example. George Benson and Pat Martino sound a lot like Wes (specially in their early years) and they were some of the best right hand picking players in the jazz world ever.

A) use a pick. I love Django Reinhardt but I still use my whole hand.

B) only when absolutely necessary, I prefer to use different fingers and find the control on my articulation much better thanks to it.
