Hi to everybody!

Hi (-:
My name is Ellan. I’ve been playing guitar for about 20 years, jazz and later flamenco.

I’ve never felt comfortable with a pick (used to compare it to making love with protection haha) and so I transitioned to playing exclusively fingerstyle (flamenco style).

But I always felt I’d love to be able to play well with a pick, especially speed wise, and so I was very excited to find someone tackling the issue so extensively when I saw Troy on youtube!

I’m most attracted to Di Meola/Mclaughlin style… Hopefully can learn and improve with the insight of the great work you guys are doing here!

Cheers.

P.S heres a compilation of some solos and stuff from over the years haha (no picks! Haha)
