FAR OUT ON THE RANGE
Andy Wood started out primarily as a bluegrass mandolin player, an endeavor for which Olympian levels of flatpicking are often required to perform the melodies and solos you will hear from great mandolin players like Sam Bush, Bill Monroe and David Grisman. When Andy switched to guitar, he worked hard to keep his alternate/flatpicking technique up to speed, and he also started using hybrid-picking techniques associated with country guitar while also incorporating various “rock” articulations, such as hammer-ons and pull-offs, and also using double-stops (two-note chords) and finger vibratos. He finds that doing this enables him to expand his musical vocabulary and “speak” on the instrument in a variety of appealing ways.
