I think Matteo uses finger rest strokes, which might account for his tone.
Yeah, his right hand looks kinda like a cross between classical and what you'd see from a really good Jaco-style bass player who uses rest stroke
Years ago I talked about right hand with a classical guitar playing/teaching friend of mine. She told me, that "tirando" (pulling) was obsolete, everybody would play "apoyando" (rest stroke).
Ok, I'd rather hear that than BB King bend all night. Wow.
Heh...I just watched it again. Jeez!!!
his finger nails look like 1.5 mm
@voutoreenie I don't really know what are the technical details but his picking reminds me more of a bass player than a classical guitarist. He did mention, I think in the interview with Rick B, that he often uses three fingers and occasionally even the pinky to pick a certain lines.
I figured it's a given that he's using the reststroke. His sound is so full, there has to be a lot of velocity behind each note.
Ahh, appreciate the info Buco - I'll have to check out that Rick B. interview with him!
I think he was saying in the interview that his fingerpicking isn't quite classical technique.
Right at 2:20 he mentions a bass player's approach to his picking
@pdg perhaps you've paid more attention than I did because when I started watching this video with him Rick B, I saw that he plays as much with free strokes as the rest stroke.
