Hi Jerry,
could you please reveal the brand name of the thumbpick you are playing on the youtube-video “Where are all the flowers gone”? It seems to me to be quite different to others (smaller, softer). Many thanks!
Your teaching is excellent!
Cheers, Elmar
Jerry says

I have a question that I should know the answer to. I am looking at the notation/tablature for “Where Have All The Flowers Gone” transcribed by Jerry. The sheet tells me 1/4 note = 118 and the notation is in 4/4 and all bars have 16th notes. Does that mean that there are essentially it takes 2 1/8 notes to be one beat? Does that make sense?
Jerry says
Yes. In 4/4 time, 2 1/8th notes will always equal one beat. Similarly 4 16th notes.
