Thanks Hydro!
Regarding the thumb thing, no I don't have an especially long thumb. I do have a freakishly long thumb nail on the other hand but that's another story. The real secret is that it's all Nessa's fault. B) She said she could manage the thumb wrap on her classical and so the challenge was set. I just planted my pinky and third fingers and stretched up from there. It did take a bit of practicing and focus, but came together in the end well enough.
Now...if I can just get Nessa to challenge me on each of the gazillion other awesome things she does brilliantly ... Well by the time I'm about 250 I might be as good a player as she is today.
Yes very cute bag of rock contraband. Hey ... If the pen is mightier than the sword, how mighty do you think the pick is? It got me to wondering about the amount of change that has come about in the world due to music, guitar music specifically... played by picks. Well that could be preeeeeeeety darn mighty. Yes?
Got a status report on Frankenpick?
Thanks for the enthusiastic response.
