I have almost almost used my index and middle fingers to pluck the strings. I guess I will have to get used to playing with a plectrum, as I do mostly Shadows pieces now. It should be fun trying to get the right sound.
Hi
I Think most of the tracks If not all The tracks With Jet Harris on were played with a plectrum
Im sure Brian locking Used a plectrum for most of the tracks he played on.
John Rostill used a plectrum for all the Tracks i have heard him play on
that unmistakeable Burns Clunk percusive sound.
Alan jones plays with a plectrum But can also play With Fingers & thumb eg Riders In the sky ,Willie And the hand Jive etc
Mark griffiths Also Varies between Fingers & thumb And a plectrum.
i personaly prefere playing with fingers but i use a plectrum for certain tracks to get the right sound.
Kon-Tiki, Peace Pipe, south of the Border etc plus all the John Rostill Burns tracks, Genie, Rise and fall Of Flingel etc etc
Regards
Jay
