Gypsy Rhythm: How loud should it be?

Passacaglia

I'm probably reaching, Jay. My calluses are thick as well and I've nothing but occasional issue with neuro pain in my fingers, grateful for that. Nice reminder on light touch, something I was actually (re)working on over the last few weeks, till my schedule went a bit haywire last week.

I think the nylon string style maccaferri D hole thing predated the selmac style guitars we all know and love. It's a different sound, you can't say it's better or worse - it serves a different purpose. I like them for brasilian music and stuff, when playing with the fingers on my gypsy jazz guitar doesn't sound as good. Check out Sylvain Luck and Bireli stuff, I think that's on nylon string ..
