Tosin Abasi's right hand - in particular the double thumb which is no doubt massively influenced by Victor Wooten

Polio sufferer who developed his own way of playing.

Lindsey Buckingham's electric techniques are absolutely unique to him

Hootsmon · July 21

Steve Morse looks like he has the worst of techniques and should not work and then he plays..............

Matteo Mancuso is so good, I wonder whether his is the new 'correct' technique and the rest of us are doing it wrong

Marty Friedman's picking technique - looks strange - but works for him.

viz · July 22

Gary Moore’s using 1st and 2nd finger for whole tones

I wonder if Jeff Healey started out playing Appalachian dulcimer? The techniques are surprisingly similar, though obviously without the blistering solos on dulcimer.

I think it was how he first managed to ‘hold’ and play the guitar when he started at 3 years old.

Sonic Youth, jamming drumsticks between the strings. Etc.
