That's a good one. I saw a guy performing at a rodeo years ago that would take requests and impersonate the artist. The one I remember most was his Willie Nelson.

Totally off topic but it made me think of Merle Haggard doing impersonations. Here is a video to enjoy lol.

I think that location does sound the best on my Martin. I was more toward the center of the sound hole. Thanks

Watched this vid yesterday, at around 1m54 he talks about pick location and the sweet spot - picking just behind the soundhole is best for for sound quality he says.

I've always known the area where you strum/pick affects tone but never knew there was one single place to aim for. Always thought it was subjective... personally I prefer the warmer sound playing nearer the neck and I think I mostly play over the middle of the soundhole, depending on the size of guitar I'm playing.

I'd also think comfort is important. Picking further back didnt work for me when I tried it earlier today - found it really awkward. Might try again though. 

Any thoughts?

Kate

I think we are all plinkers by definition
