Re: Question for fingerpickers

Tony Done expounded in news:jfketk$42q$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:

How do you do fast runs on a steel string, where you have
to play several picked notes in succession on the same
string?

I'm doing down thumb, up index, but not very fast by
flatpicker or classical standards.

Tony D

I don't do anything fast anymore. Fast is for young 'ns.

Snark.
