There is no one way to play without nails, and so these posts below are not instructions but rather some thoughts and suggestions from my experience practising, researching, and teaching no-nail playing. I fully expect to reform and refine them further over the coming years.
I’ve also included links to Rob MacKillop’s and Phillip de Fremery’s essays on technique — thoroughly recommended reading!
If you have suggestions, questions, disagreements etc., please do leave or comment or send me a message.
