'Hey, you wanna buy a watch?'.. Not abandoned, just laid back..I know for sure Ari uses picks when playing resonator guitar, but, after that it's a song by song/guitar by guitar decision..
Hey Ari, are you out there? I'm curious, too, how do you decide when or when not to use picks? If you don't answer within two days, we're setting up a Beenie Baby franchise in this space.. ;-)
: Thanks for the response. I was beginning to
: wonder if this little forum had been
: abandoned. I was going to start selling
: baseball cards or beanie babies on it. ;-)
: I figured he was going back and forth
: between picks and fingers/nails. I kinda
: assumed the plastic thumbpick and suspected
: metal fingerpicks rather than the plastic
: ones based on the sound he gets. You've
: confirmed that. I've listened to his second
: CD since I initially posted. Wow! He sets
: a high bar.

: ..from what I've seen of Ari's playing he
: uses
: both bare fingers and finger picks,
: depending upon the song/guitar used. Finger
: picks are metal on index and middle and
: plastic on thumb; bare fingers are w/
: long-ish nails on thumb, index and middle..
: Ari, you can chime-in any time on
: this..regards, tom

: I just purchased both of your CDs and have
: just listened to the first one.
:
: First of all, VERY nice. I'm looking
: forward to listening to the second CD.
:
: Second, were you using a thumbpick and
: fingerpick(s) when you recorded this CD?
:
: You get a very nicely balanced sound when
: you pluck multiple strings. I'm trying to
: decide if you used fingernails or
: fingerpicks and whether those finger picks
: were very thin metal or plastic.
