    Try the Dunlop called bug a blue. Brent mason uses one. Dunlop makes one molded in one. Blue mountain I think m makes one on a spring. Fred Kelly stopped picks makes several. No less than Doyle styles uses one. I cut the end of a Dunlop one of and glue a couple of v picks on with. I love the sound of these. If you like a nylon the bug a blue is great. Most every step player uses one. Guess got a idea but there are better options

    Social media really amplifies the issue of comparing yourself to others. Especially the way that things are packaged so you only see the good and not the bad. At the end of the day, now that I’m in my late 40s I realize that there is nothing more satisfying than having a hobby you can come home to that is so deep you can spend a lifetime exploring it. Alan Watts has a good lecture about how life is not a race, it’s more like a dance. The goal is not to get to the end as fast as possible, it’s to enjoy things along the way. I have played guitar since I was in high school, but started take flute lessons three years ago in my mid-40s. I started completely from scratch, but I’m now entering the advanced level course at a well-known music program in Tokyo. You can make huge strides in only a few years if do things consistently.

    This is a lot of thinking. Does it become natural?

      Like anything else you’ve likely learned. Eventually, you’re barely thinking at all. I’m living proof. There’s nothing special about me.

    Thank you Adam! Shell voicings are probably the most versatile voicings and I love how composable they are. You can easily extend them, inverse them and lot of time you automatically get drop 2 and drop 3 shapes.

      Thanks for checking it out. I devised these chords so I can get more movement than just R-7-3 like I mentioned in the video. And in the PDF I go further into other string groupings. I just really dig the spread of these voicings.

      Hey Daniel, thanks for checking out the video and commenting. I think they’re cool too! I expand the concept even more in the PDF including other string groupings.

    Wonderful lesson. The exact thing I've been working on myself recently but you've got it all figured out and structured. Excellent. Thanks so much for this!
