Technique
Riedel is primarily a fingerstyle player, although he also uses a pick for most songs when playing live.
In certain softer songs, Ollie has been known to play with a banjo style plucking technique with his right hand to play arpeggiated chords, such as in Seemann. He also plays the acoustic guitar introduction to "Frühling in Paris" in live shows.

Famous quotes containing the word technique:
“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Irony in writing is a technique for increasing reader self- approval.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
