I wish I could play finger style well, fact is I have virtually no nails at all cause I keep em short for tapping. This really limits my acoustic playing - you can't bend so easily and tapping/harmonics don't come out well. (O.k There's spannish fly by EVH and Midnight express by Nuno Bettencourt but these guys are mega talented).
Acoustic guitar seems to me like a different instrument entirely, one better suited to finger style players< I wish someone made fingernail impressionists for guitarists to wear.
I've heard that Jeff Beck uses a lot of fingerstyle. I'd be very interested to hear if anyone knows anyone else who plays fast scalar stuff with finger style on electric.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
