He did incorporate some rest stroke picking, especially when playing standard Gypsy/Django lines.
Also, his right hand was about the strongest I’ve ever seen for an alternate picker so he was able to get away with things most people wouldn’t be able to pull off.
@CraigHensley If I was to just pick one it would be rest stroke picking as you can really play in any style with it (ok, maybe shred guitar not so much, but otherwise pretty adaptable.) George Benson and Joe Pass were rest stoke pickers so modern styles of jazz on archtops are totally possible with rest strokes.
Interesting @MichaelHorowitz . In his "Gypsy Fire" book, there are some patterns which are impossible to gypsy pick ( even though they're marked as such ) especially at high speed examples. "Shine" in that book I remember had a few such cases.
