Fingerstyle guitar

The Fingerstyle Guitar is a technique of playing the guitar by strumming the strings directly with the fingertips, fingernails, or clasps attached to the fingers, as opposed to the flat kicking technique (plucking the individual records with one plectrum, usually called " choose"). The term "fingerstyle" is a misnomer, as it comes in several different genres and musical styles - but mostly, because it involves a completely different technique, not just "style" play, especially for choosing a guitarist/hand pulling. The term is often used synonymously with fingerpicking , although fingerpicking can also refer to certain traditions of folk, blues and country guitar playing in the US. See below.

Music that is set to play the fingers can include chords, arpeggios (tone plays one after the other, as opposed to simultaneously) and other elements such as artificial harmonics, hammering and pulling out tones with restless hands, using the body of a percussion guitar (by pressing rhythm on the body), and many other techniques. Often, the guitarist will play melodic tones, interspersed with accompanying chords and deep bass (or bass notes) simultaneously. Some fingerpicking guitarists also intersperse percussion beats along with melodies, chords and basslines. This allows a single guitarist to provide all these important track elements. This allows singer-guitarists to accompany themselves, and it allows smaller groups that have only one guitarist to use one guitarist to provide all of these musical elements. Fingerpicking is a standard technique on classical or nylon string guitars, but is considered to be more of a special technique on steel string guitars. Fingerpicking is less common on electric guitars, except in the style of heavy metal music with lead-guitar leads known as broken guitars.

Technique

Because individual numbers play notes on guitars rather than hands that work as a whole (which is the case when guitarists hold one pick), guitarists who play fingerstyle can perform multiple musical elements simultaneously. One definition of this technique has been put forward by the Toronto Fingerstyle Guitar Association (Canada):

Physically, "Fingerstyle" refers to the use of each of the right hand fingers independently to play some part of the musical arrangements normally played by some band members. Bass tones, harmonic accompaniment (chord progressions), melodies, and percussion all can be played simultaneously while playing Fingerstyle.

Many fingerstyle guitarists have adopted a combination of acrylic and thumb nails to improve tone and reduce nail wear and possibly rupture or crack. The leading guitarist to adopt this hardware is Doyle Dykes and Canadian guitarist Don Ross.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The player does not have to carry the plectrum; but the fingernails may have to be maintained at appropriate lengths and in good condition.
• It is possible to play some adjacent strings at the same time. This allows the guitarist to play a very low bass tone and high treble tones at the same time. This allows the guitarist to play a double stop, such as an octave, a fifth, a sixth, or other interval corresponding to harmony.
• Better to play polyphonic, with separate independent musical lines, or separate melodic, harmonic and bass parts, and therefore better suited for solo play without a companion, or to a very small ensemble, like a duo in which a guitarist accompanies the singer. The Fingerstyle player has up to four (or five) surface (nails or picks) striking the strings and/or other parts of the guitar independently; which is not equivalent to four plectrums, because the plectrum can strike easily and downstrokes easily, while the fingers can only reach the turn with hard training. (Exceptions to this can be found in the flamenco rasgueado technique.
• It's easy to play arpeggios; but techniques for tremolo (rapid recurrence of notes) and melodic play are more complex than by playing the plectrum.
• It is possible to play a chord without arpeggiation, because up to five strings can be picked together.
• Less hand restraints (turn off) in chord play, as only necessary strings can be picked.
• Larger variations in strokes are possible, allowing greater expression in timbre and dynamics.
• A variety of strum and rasgueados are possible.
• Less energy is generally given to strings than with a plectrum game, which leads to lower volumes while playing acoustically.
• Playing with a heavier gauge may damage the nail: the ring finger is better suited for nylon strings or lighter gauge steel strings (but this does not apply to the fingerprints, or when the finger's fingers are used rather than nails, as is the case with the lute.)

Nylon string guitar style

The nylon string guitar is most often played by the fingers.

Classical guitar radius

The term "Classical guitar music" can refer to any type of art music played on a nylon string guitar, or more narrowly in classical period music, as opposed to baroque or romantic music. A key feature of the classic fingerstyle technique is that it enables the arrangement of solo harmony and polyphonic music in the same way as a piano. This technique is intended to maximize the level of control over musical dynamics, texture, volume and tone characteristics of the guitar. Careful attention is given to the player's physical posture. Finger thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger are all used to pull out. Chords are often picked, with strums supplied for emphasis. Repertoire varies in terms of key, fashion, rhythm and cultural influences. Changed shoots are rarely used, with the exception of dropping D.

Notation

Fingerings for both hands are often given in detail in classical guitar music notation, although players are also free to add or leave them as part of their own interpretation. The broken fingers are given as a number, the finger picking is given as a letter

In guitar scores , five fingers of the right hand (which pluck the strings) are determined by the first letter of their Spanish name ie p = thumb ( pulgar ), i = index finger ( ÃÆ'ndice ), m = main finger ( mayor ), a = ring finger ( anular ), c = pinkie or pinkie ( chiquito ).

The fourth finger of the left hand (which stops the strings) is set 1 = index, 2 = large, 3 = ring finger, 4 = pinkie; 0 points to an open string, a string that is not stopped by the finger of the left hand and whose full length vibrates as it is picked. On the classical left hand guitar the left hand is never used to stop the strings from above (as done on an electric guitar): the classical guitar neck is too wide and the normal thumb position used in classical guitar techniques does not make that possible. Scores (as opposed to tablatures ) do not systematically indicate strings to be picked (though in many cases the choice is obvious). When string indication required the string is set 1 to 6 (from 1 E high to 6 low E) with the number 1 to 6 inner circle.

The position (which is on the first left finger's finger of the left hand is placed) is also not systematically indicated, but when they are (mostly in the case of execution barrÃÆ'Â © s ) this is indicated by Roman numerals from my position (index finger left placed on fret 1: FB ? -E ? -A ? -CF) to position XII (the left hand index finger is placed on the 12th fret: EADGBE; the 12th fret is placed where the body begins) or higher until the XIX position (the most common classical guitar has 19 fret, with the 19th fret most frequently split and can not be used to fret the 3rd and 4th strings).

Alternate

To achieve a tremolo effect and fast, smooth scale parts, and varying arpeggios the player must practice the turn, that is, never strum a string with the same finger twice. General change patterns include:

• i-m-i-m : The basic melody line on the treble string. Has the appearance of "walking along the strings".
• i-m-a-i-m-a : Tremolo pattern with triplet nuance (ie same note is repeated three times)
• p-a-m-i-p-a-m-i : Another tremolo pattern.
• p-m-p-m : How to play the melody line on the bottom strings.

Production tone

The classical guitarist has a lot of freedom in the mechanism of playing the instrument. Often this decision with influence on tone and timbre - factors include:

• At what position along the strings, the fingers strum a string (This is changed by the guitarist throughout the song, as this is an effective way to change the sound (timbre) from "soft" ( dolce ) strum a string near its center, becomes "hard" ( ponticelo ) strings near the end).
• Use of nails or not: Play a modern classical guitar using techniques where both nails and fingertips touch the strings during normal play. (AndrÃÆ'Â © S Segovia is often credited with popularizing this technique.) Playing with both fingertips ( dita punta ) or nails only ( dita unghis ) is considered a special technique for timbral variation.

Concert guitarists should keep their fingernails seamlessly and carefully crafted to use this technique, which produces better controlled sound than nails or fingertips. The play parameters include:

• Which finger is used
• What is the angle of attack to hold your wrist and fingers with a note on the strings.
• Rest-stroke apoyando; the fingers plucking the strings rest on the next strings - traditionally used in a single melody line - versus the free-stroke tirrio (strumming the strings without stopping on the next strings).

Flamenco fingerstyle guitar

Flamenco techniques deal with classical techniques, but with more emphasis on rhythm and volume, and less on dynamic contrast and tone production. Guitarists Flamenco prefer keys like A and E that allow the use of open strings, and usually use a capo where departure is required. They often strengthen their fingernails artificially.

Some special techniques include:

• Picado: Excerpts of a single line scale done apoyando but with more attacks and articulations.
• Rasgueado: Strumming is often done by bringing together all the fingers of the right hand and then flicking it sequentially to get four overlapping pieces (although there are many variations on this). The rasgueado or "rolling" strum is very typical of the genre.
• Alzapua: Thumb technique with roots in ol plectrum technique. The right hand thumb is used for both single tones and is picked in a number of strings. Both are combined in sequence to give a unique sound.
• Tremolo: Completed somewhat differently from conventional classical guitar tremolo, this is very commonly played with the right hand pattern p-i-a-m-i .

Bossa nova

Bossa nova is most often performed on nylon-string classical guitars, played by fingers rather than with picks. The purest form can be considered a guitar without an accompanist with a vocal, as exemplified by JoÃÆ' Â £ o Gilberto. Even in larger settings, like jazz for a group, there is almost always a guitar playing the underlying rhythm. Gilberto basically took one of the several rhythmic layers of the samba ensemble, especially the tambourim, and applied it to the picking hand.

North American tradition

Fingerpicking (also called thumb picking, alternating bass, or pattern picking) is the style of play and the music genre. It falls under the heading "fingerstyle" because it is plucked by the fingers, but is usually used to play certain types of folk music, country-jazz music and/or blues. In this technique, the thumb maintains a steady rhythm, typically playing an "alternating bass" pattern on the bottom three strings, while the index, or index finger and middle selection melody and filling the note on the high strings. This style originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as southern blues guitarists tried to emulate the popular ragtime piano music of the day, with the guitarist's thumbs functioning as the pianist's left hand, and the other fingers functioning as the right hand. The first recording example is by players like Blind Blake, Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie and Mississippi John Hurt. Some early blues players such as Blind Willie Johnson and Tampa Red added guitar slide techniques.

Fingerpicking was soon taken by Western countries and artists such as Sam McGee, Ike Everly (father of The Everly Brothers), Merle Travis and "Thumbs" Carllile. Then Chet Atkins developed modern musicians and musicians such as Jose Gonzalez, Eddie Vedder (in his Guaranteed song) and David Knowles has made use of this style. Most fingerpickers use acoustic guitars, but some, including Merle Travis, play on hollow-body electric guitars, while some modern rock musicians, such as Derek Trucks and Mark Knopfler, use traditional North American fingerpicking techniques on solid-body electric guitars like Gibson. Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster.

Guitar Ragtime

As mentioned above, fingerpicking has roots that are similar to and may be inspired by piano ragtime. The earliest masters of the ragtime guitar were Blind Blake, a popular recording artist from the late 1920s and early 1930s. In the 1960s, a new generation of guitarists returned to these roots and began transcribing piano songs for guitar solos. One of the most famous and most talented of these players is Dave Van Ronk, who organizes St. Louis Tickle for solo guitar. In 1971, guitarists David Laibman and Eric Schoenberg set up and recorded ragged Scott Joplin and other complex piano arrangements for The New Ragtime Guitar LP on Folkways Records. This is followed by Stefan Grossman's method book with the same title. A year later Grossman and ED Denson founded Kicking Mule Records, a company that recorded a number of solo ragtime guitar discs by artists including Grossman, Ton van Bergeyk, Leo Wijnkamp, ​​Duck Baker, Peter Finger, Lasse Johansson, Tom Ball, and Dale Miller. Meanwhile, Reverend Gary Davis is active in New York City, where he leads many people who like to pick fingers. He then influenced many other artists in the United States and internationally.

The Carter Family selects

Carter Family picking, also known as the 'thumb brush' or 'Carter lick' technique, as well as 'church lick' and 'Carter scratch' ", is a fingerstyle guitar style called Maybelle Carter from the characteristic Carter Family style rhythm guitar in which melodies are played on bass strings, usually low E, A, and D as the rhythm picks up on, on these high treble, G, B, and E strings often occur during recess.

Travis chooses

This style is usually played on steel string acoustic guitars. Pattern picking is the use of "right-hand pattern [s] preset" while fingerpicking, with a standard left-handed fingering chord. The most common patterns, sometimes widely (and incorrectly) referred to as Travis taking after Merle Travis, and popularized by Chet Atkins, Marcel Dadi, James Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel, are as follows:

 Tengah | X X - | X X - |  Indeks | X X - | X X - |  Jempol | X X X X - | X X X X - |  

The thumb (T) alternates between bass notes, often on two different strings, while index fingers (I) and center (M) alternate between two treble tones, usually on two different strings, most often second and first. Using this pattern on the C major chords is as follows in notation and tablature:

However, Travis's own game is often much more complicated than this example. He often calls his style of play a "thumbs up", probably because the only pick he uses while playing is a banjo thumb pick, or "Muhlenberg picking", after the origin of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, where he learned this approach to play from Mose Rager and Ike Everly. The Travis style does not involve a specified bass string pattern; it's more of a "bass strum" pattern alternately, producing an accompanying rhythm reminiscent of piano ragtime.

Clawhammer and fragile

Clawhammer and brittle are the main banjo techniques that are sometimes applied to the guitar. Jody Stecher and Alec Stone Sweet are clawhammer guitar exponents. Fingerstyle guitarist Steve Baughman distinguishes between frail and clawhammer as follows. In a fragile state, the tip of the index finger is used to pluck the melody, and the middle finger nail is used to brush down rhythmically. In clawhammer, only downstrokes are used, and they are usually played with a single nail like the usual technique on a banjo.

American primitive guitar

The primitive American guitar is part of the fingerstyle guitar. This comes from John Fahey, whose recordings from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s inspired many guitarists such as Leo Kottke, who made his debut titles 6- and 12-String Guitar on the Takoma Fahey label in 1969 American primitive guitars can be characterized by the use of folk-like music, fingerpicking back and forth with many patterns of ostinato, and the use of alternative tuning ( scordatura) like open D , open G, drop D and open C. Application or "cross contamination" of traditional musical forms in American primitive guitar style is also very common. Examples of traditions that John Fahey and Robbie Basho will use in their compositions include, but not limited to, expanded Raga of Indian classical music, Japanese Koto, and early ragtime state of Mississippi music blues John Hurt or Blind Blake.

Other acoustic styles

Folk baroque

The distinctive style that emerged from England in the early 1960s, which incorporated elements of American folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime with traditional British music, is what is known as 'baroque folk'. Spearheaded by musicians from the rise of the British people Both started their careers in a short-lived skiffle penchant of the 1950s and often used American blues, folk styles and jazz, occasionally using open D and G barrel. However, players like Davy Graham and Martin Carthy are trying to apply this style to traditional British music. They were soon followed by artists such as Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, who further defined the style. The style developed by these artists is especially important for the adoption of D-A-D-G-A-D (from lowest to highest), which gives the form of D-suspension chords, both major and minor, which can be used as a basis for folk songs based on capital. This is combined with fingerstyle based on Travis picking and focus on melody, which makes it suitable as a companion. Denselow, who coined the term 'baroque folk', chose Graham's recording of the traditional British folk song 'Seven Gypsys' in Folk, Blues and Beyond (1964) as the beginning of style. Graham mixed this with Indian, African, American, Celtic, and modern American and traditional influences, while Carthy in particular uses tuning to mimic common drones in medieval music and played by thumbs on the two lowest strings. This style was further developed by Jansch, who brought a stronger style to choose and, indirectly, the influence of Jazz and Ragtime, leading mainly to more complex basslines. Renbourn is built on all these trends and is the artist whose repertoire is most influenced by medieval music.

In the early 1970s, the next generation of British artists added new techniques and tunings, reflected in the work of artists such as Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, and especially John Martyn, Solid Air (1972) set the bar for guitarists next English acoustic. Perhaps the most prominent exponent in recent years is Martin Simpson, whose complex mix of traditional English and American materials, along with innovative settings and techniques such as the use of guitar slides, is a deliberate attempt to create a unique and personal style. Martin Carthy inherited his guitar style to French guitarist, Pierre Bensusan. It was taken in Scotland by Dick Gaughan, and by Irish musicians such as Paul Brady, DÃÆ'³nal Lunny and Mick Moloney. Carthy also influenced Paul Simon, especially at the Scarborough Fair, which he may have taught Simon, and the recordings of Davy's Anji that appear in the Sounds of Silence > i>, and as a result copied by many of the next folk guitarists. In the 1970s Americans such as Duck Baker and Eric Schoenberg were composing solo guitar versions of Celtic dance, slow water, bagpipe music and harp pieces by Turlough O'Carolan and previous harper composers. The sound of the complex of Renbourn and Jansch was also very influential on Mike Oldfield's early music. This style also has an influence in English folk rock, where in particular Richard Thompson, uses the D-A-D-G-A-D tuning, albeit with a hybrid picking style to produce the same but different effects.

"New Age"

In 1976, William Ackerman started Windham Hill Records, which carries the Takoma tradition of original compositions on solo steel string guitars. However, instead of folk and blues-oriented music from the Takoma, including the primitive guitar of American Fahey, the early artists of Windham Hill (and others influenced by them) left alternating or constant monotonous bass in favor of sweet flowing arpeggios and flamenco-inspired percussion techniques. The label's best-selling artist, George Winston and others used a similar approach on the piano. This music is generally fitting, accessible and expressionistic. Finally, the music earned the label "New Age", considering its extensive use as background music in bookstores, spas, and other New Age businesses. The assignment has stalled, though it is not a term created by the company itself.

Percussion Approach

"Percussive picking" is a term for style combining sharp strikes on strings, as well as hitting strings and guitars by hand for percussive effects. Flamenco guitarists have been using these techniques for years but the greater resilience of steel strings makes the same difficult approach in fingerstyle until the use of pickups on acoustic guitars became common in the early 1970s. Michael Hedges began using percussion techniques in the early 1980s.

A funky approach

"Funky fingerstyle" appeared in the mid-2000s, as the style in which sounds are full of funk or R & B ensemble is emulated on a single guitar. Unusual sounds are found thanks to the technical possibilities of various pick-ups, microphones, and pedal octave effects. Adam Rafferty used a hip-hop vocal percussion technique called "human beat box", along with body percussion, while playing a finger piece contrapuntal. Petri Sariola has several microphones on his guitar board and is able to run up to 6 lines from his guitar to the mixing table, providing a full "band sound" - bass, snare, bass, guitar drums - as a companion for his vocals.

African radius

The six-string guitar is brought to Africa by merchants and missionaries (although there are instruments like original guitars like ngoni and gimbri or Gnawa music synthesizers). Its absorption varies widely between regions, and hence there is no single African acoustic guitar style. In some cases, other instrument styles and techniques have been applied to the guitar; for example, a technique in which strings are plucked with the thumb and a finger imitate the two-finger retraction of the kora and mbira. Acoustic guitar acoustic guitar pioneer fingerstyle is Jean Bosco Mwenda, also known as Mwenda wa Bayeke (1930-1990). The song "Masanga" is very influential, because the guitar parts are complex and varied. His influence included Zambia and eastern Congo traditional music, Cuban groups such as the Matamoros Trio, and the cowboy movie. His style uses thumb and forefinger only, to produce bass, melody and accompanist. Congolese guitarists Losta Abelo and Edouard Masengo play in the same style.

Herbert Misango and George Mukabi are fingerstyle guitarists from Kenya. Ali Farka Toure (d.2006) is a guitarist from Mali, whose music has been called "DNA of the blues". He is also often compared to John Lee Hooker. His son Vieux Farka Toure continues to play in the same style. Djelimady Tounkara is another malian finger. S. E. Rogie and Koo Nimo play acoustic axes in the traditions of palm wine music influenced by lilting art and influenced by calypso. Benin-born jazz guitarist Lionel Loueke uses fingerstyle in an approach that combines jazz harmony and elaborate rhythms. He is now based in the US.

Tony Cox (born 1954) is a Zimbabwe guitarist and composer living in Cape Town, South Africa. A master of Fingerpicking style playing guitar, he has won the SAMA (South African Music Awards) for the best instrumental album twice. The music combines many different styles including classics, blues, rock and jazz, while keeping African taste. Tinderwet is a versatile guitarist of three and sometimes four fingers of play style (thumb, index, middle and ring); he plays several different African styles, including soukous music or Western African music. He often feels his game with jazzy improvisations, regular fingerpicking patterns, and chord melodic sequences.

Slide, steel and sagging guitar

Even when the guitar is tuned in a way that helps the guitarist to perform certain chord types, it is often unwanted for all six strings to be heard. When picking with plectrum, the guitarist must "wet" (mute) unwanted strings with restless hands; when the slide or steel is used, the restless hand curl is no longer possible, so it is necessary to replace the plectrum picked by pulling the individual strings. For this reason, slide guitar and steel guitar playing very often become fingers.

Slide guitar

The slide guitar or guitar bottleneck is a particular method or technique for playing the guitar. The term slide refers to the slide motion of the string, while the bottleneck refers to the original material of choice for such a slide: the glass bottle neck. Instead of changing the pitch of the strings in the usual way (by pressing the strings against the frets), the slides are placed on a string to vary the vibrating length, and pitch. This slide can then be moved along a string without lifting, creating a continuous transition on the pitch.

Most played guitar (assuming left-handed player and guitar):

• with the guitar in its normal position, using a slide called bottleneck on one of the left hand fingers; this is known as the guitar bottleneck ;
• with a horizontally-held guitar, with the top abdomen and bass strings towards the player, and using a slide called steel held in the left hand; this is known as lap steel guitar .

Slack button guitar

The key to sagging guitar is the style chosen with the touch of a finger from Hawaii. The English term is a translation from Hawaii k? h? 'alu , which means "loosen lock [tuning]". Slack locks are almost always played on open or modified tunes - the most common setting is G-major (DGDGBD), called "taropatch", although there is a major-seventy tuning family called "wahine" (Hawaiian for "woman"), as well as barrel designed to get a certain effect. Slack-key basic styles, such as the folk-based finger-based land, form a bass pattern alternating with the thumb and play a melodic line with the fingers on the higher strings. This treasury stems from traditional post-contact Hawaiian songs and dances, but since 1946 (when the first commercial slack recording key was made) the style has evolved, and some contemporary compositions have a clear new sound. The old generation of Slack keys include Gabby Pahinui, Leonard Kwan, Sonny Chillingworth and Raymond K? Ne. Notable contemporary players include Keola Beamer, Moses Kahumoku, Ledward Kaapana, Dennis Kamakahi, John Keawe, Ozzie Kotani and Peter Moon and Cyril Pahinui.

Electric guitar

Fingerstyle jazz guitar

Unimpassed guitars in jazz are often played in a melodic-chord style, in which the guitarist plays a series of chords with melodic lines on top. Fingerstyle, plectrum, or picking hybrids are equally suited for this style. Some players alternated between fingertyle and plectrum play, "palming" plectrum when not in use. Early blues and ragtime guitarists often use fingerstyle. The true finger jazz guitar comes from the early era of acoustic players such as Eddie Lang (1902-1933) Lonnie Johnson (1899-1970) and Carl Kress (1907-1965), Dick McDonough (1904-1938) and Oscar AlemÃÆ'¡n from Argentina (1909-1980). Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) used classical/flamenco techniques on an unimproved piece like his composition Tears .

Fingerstyle jazz on electric guitars was pioneered by George van Eps (1913-1998) who was respected for his polyphonic approach, sometimes using a seven string guitar. Wes Montgomery (1925-1968) is known for using the fleshy portion of his thumb to provide a bass line while picking chordal or melodic motifs with his fingers. This style, though not orthodox, is widely regarded as an innovative method to enhance the warm tones associated with jazz guitar. Montgomery's influence extends to modern jazz polyphonic improvisation methods. Joe Pass (1929-1994) switched to mid midty career, making the series Virtuoso . Little known to the general public Ted Greene (1946-2005) admired by fellow musicians for his harmonic skills. Lenny Breau (1941-1984) got better from van Eps by playing virtuoso fingers on an eight-string guitar. Tommy Crook replaced the two lower strings on his Gibson switchmaster with a bass string, allowing him to create the impression of playing bass and guitar simultaneously. Chet Atkins (1924-2001) sometimes applied his right hand technique to jazz standards, with Duck Baker (b) 1949), Richard Smith (born 1971), Woody Mann and Tommy Emmanuel (b.1955), among others, following in his footsteps. They use fingerpicking techniques from Merle Travis and others to play various materials including jazz. This style is distinguished by having a more stable and "busier" (some beats to the bar) bass line than the melodic chord approach from Montgomery and Pass making it suitable for high tempo material.

Fingerstyle was always dominant in Latin American guitar playing, the Laurindo Almeida (1917-1995) and Charlie Byrd (1925-1999) brought to a wider audience in the 1950s. The Fingerstyle jazz guitar has several supporters: pianistic Jeff Linsky (b 1952), freely improvising polyphonically while using classical guitar techniques. Earl Klugh (b) 1953) and Tuck Andress also featured jazz fingerstyle on guitar solos. Briton Martin Taylor (b. 1956), former sidemen Stephane Grappelli, turned to fingerstyle on the relaunch of his solo career. His predecessor at the band Grappelli, John Etheridge (b.1948) is also an occasional fingerstyle player.

Electric blues and rock

Solid-body electric guitars are rarely played fingerstyle, although there are no major technical challenges. Slide guitarists often use fingerstyle, which applies equally to electric guitars, such as Duane Allman and Ry Cooder. Blues guitarists have long used fingerstyle: several exponents including Jorma Kaukonen, Hubert Sumlin, Albert King, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Derek Truck, Joe Bonamassa, and Buckethead. The exponents of the fingerstyle rock guitar include: Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck (after years of playing), Stephen Malkmus, Bruce Cockburn (exclusive), Robby Krieger, Lindsey Buckingham, Mike Oldfield, Patrick Simmons, Wilko Johnson, J.J. Cale, Robbie Robertson, Hillel Slovak, Annie Clark, Kurt Vile, David Longstreth, and Richie Kotzen.
