YOu mean the bottom strings. That's in the solo style of Travis and Atkins. This is the ringy and resonant pop/folk application.......

I highly advise against it if you're using nylon strings, but it's personal preference. You certainly can use a plectrum anytime you like

i just learned thas this picking style had a name, i just randomly did this stuff one day, so i thought i invented my own playing style

True, and that's fair enough, though another reason I'd advise not resting with your finger is so one can position the fingers more directly over the hole which will provide a fuller tone, I suppose outside of classical playing it's more a matter of personal preference.

I would say it's against classical technique and needs to be used thoughtfully in other styles. For example, consider that Chet Atkins and his disciples use it extensively. I use it--at times--and without any tension/cramps/discomfort. |
