RE: Question for ToddK (in reply to ToddK)

I've been aware of Todd's technique for about 3 years or more now. I must admit at first I was both shocked and amazed that anyone could play so well with an alternative technique. I don't know how he does it, but he does! My ears tell me that. Now I just listen to the music and don't question it anymore LOL! The music and the musicality says it all IMO. I think perhaps when folk move on from their teens/twenties folk/blues/rock, to Classical or Flamenco, they become a bit like a reformed alcoholic or smoker and sorta look down their noses at folk who "still play with a plectrum". Then after seeing a video from Todd, kinda get irritated and upset that they can't play anywhere near that good, even though the employ a "traditional" technique, and then waste time working out why he shouldn't sound so good LOL! Believe me, Todd is 50% technique and 50% musicality...(Timing, Rhythm, Tone, Phrasing) A lot of folk go for 100% technique and that's where I believe they delude themselves IMO. my two cents Ron
