The Claw - Jerry's right hand technique

[mijknahs]

I've never noticed that about the open D but I will start looking (and listening) now that you've mentioned it.

Thanks,

When I hear "The Claw" I think of Geddy Lee's right hand technique - as he himself nicknamed it.

Pointless post of the day. File that under stuff you probably don't need to know unless you're a bass player.

Artistry... I finger pick but I ALWAYS have to leave my pinky on the guitar to balance my hand. I would be lost without it (like most of us). Right around that 5:40 mark his pinky is picking and there seems to be nothing balancing his hand. Can anyone else here accomplish fluent picking without the pinky balance? Just another subtle mastery under Jerry’s belt.
