Wow! Thanks for the heads-up from Rogers. I would have previously said
that it's impossible to get that kind of swinging feel that he gets
when picking from the elbow.

I think this goes to show you that any particular technique is
irrelevant. It's simply a matter of working out THE MUSIC you want to
play and your technique will fall into place. To do it any other way is
wrong.
