    @robarov am I understanding the question what fingers should you strum with? In my 16 months with TAC I have not seen Tony ever strum with his fingers.

    We are either

    1. Fingerpicking and he is quite specific with the fingering or pinching technique

    2. Strumming with a plectrum

    Sometimes he will tell us to do what works for us.

    I hope this answers your question. Other teachers may teach how to strum using your fingers but TAC does not. There are so many different ways to use your fingers on a guitar and many people develop their own styles, I think Tony probably avoids this topic on purpose as it would be quite the rabbit hole.
