Stéphane Wrembel and Josh Kaye - Gypsy jazz-style rest-stroke picking 

this happens to me every time i watch some other string/ fret based instrument. i am instantly on thomann checking how much is the budget version of the instrument. esentially, alternate picking in modern invention connected to amplification, the rest stroke technique is pretty standard across the world of plectrum based instruments. watch for example playes on the cuban tres

That guitar looks old, dude. Must be a relic, probably past down from father to son.
