Open Cup

Reminder to everyone that when playing acoustic, your hands should not be fully cupped... we want to hear you! The only time you should fully close your cup is in preparation to a WA (hand starts closed and then finishes open... and then stays open for further play) and when playing with a bullet mic (amplified).

A side note... listen to Norton Buffalo and Phil Wiggins... these are two players that are (were for Norton, unfortunately he has passed) very successful in creating a unique tone of playing in front of a vocal mic with their hands fully cupped... you have to be VERY close to the mic to make this work.
