Location: Snåsa, Norway | I often practise fingerpicking patterns by "picking" or tapping with my fingers without a guitar at hand. Like when driving I do this on the steering wheel which usually drives Ellen mad. I believe she doesn't think I'm capable of driving and "playing" at the same time.
She keeps on asking if all guitarists do this, and I honestly don't know, but assume I'm pretty normal, so I believe at least many do so. Do you do the same?
:rolleyes: |

:rolleyes: If many do, i'm not one of them. Never heard of such practice. But if it works for you ... air guitar to your hearts content. :)
