Another great who’s not well known in the US. The king of #portuguese #guitar #CarlosParedes. The instruments are double coursed like a western 12-string and they play with #fingerpicks that are worn on the back of the fingers and tied on with string or tape.
I've been confounded by autoharp books including strumming patterns where the finger picks strummed up as well as down.
I followed a hunch that maybe it was my picks and not my technique that made these strum patterns impossible, so I ordered some replacements with good reviews…
These 'Stagg' picks feel much better, they're thinner, have a flattened 'blade' and, most importantly, they securely strum in both directions! 👌🏻
