Does anyone know how Jason Mraz gets his sound on an acoustic guitar? Is it some kind of fingerpicking? It doesn't seem like just strumming with a pick, though I could be wrong...
Whatever it is, I'd like to learn it! :)
Well, he uses really nice Taylors, that probally helps, it depends on the song. He fingerpicks some, and strums (with a pick) for others, he really is a great guitar player.
Would learning about travis picking help me understand how to play his fingerpicked stuff?
Just quickly looking at a travis picking site (had no clue what it was :roll: ) I guess it would, because in a song like "Absolutely Zero" he plays the D-string and high E-string at the same time.. but in another finger-picking song "The Boy's Gone Home", he doesn't play two strings that are farther away like that, he uses it more (I think) to hit the strings faster than with just pick. I going to try to post Absolutely Zero on the Easy Songs board this week.
