Throwing this out here; - OT music, OT instrument; but relevant RH technique especially for those of us concerned with late Renaissance thumb-out (or sometimes "up").
Jody Fisher is a highly accomplished professional jazz guitarist I met some years ago- what I find fascinating here is that he is a virtuoso plectrum player who has developed a very high level finger style that seems to have grown out of his plectrum tradition (note the hand/wrist angle & position and some thumb-index work); but very different from classical guitar, and some obvious differences from lute- unanchored pinkie, extensive use of ring finger, no hesitation to repeat fingers when tempo allows; but overall incredibly free, fluent, and relaxed.
