Sometimes. Pick (plectrum) : alternating up and down strokes. Sometimes the cross to another string, eg: from D to B will feel awkward. That then is the thing to practice. Also, reversing the direction of the cross is useful. Try the same thing beginning on an upstroke instead of a down; that is very useful practice. Finger picking (With or without a thumbpick) : A great deal more to think about of course. When I was younger I would practice different picks. Now I don’t need to. I will create the feel of pick I want intuitively and if any part of it is awkward, I will pay special attention to it by slowing it down, considering variations etc. until I am happy with what I am going for. Then its back to plain old repetitive practice. When it can be played naturally (ie- without body tension or mental tension) then its good enough.

Good ideas. I would find a distinct lack of proper motivation with John's specific examples, but the general concept is good. I have written in styles that are foreign too me, and got good results.

No chords? Strange attitude. BTW Lazz is entirely correct about Marmite on toast.

I still persevere with the same old BOSS GT-5 I had the lead repaired last year (shouldve used a kettle one). I have only just started to use a patch I made up in the early days. According to the manual, I have the effects chain is all wrong, but its the tastiest sound on there! Multi-effects units are so much simpler.

There ought to have been a 3rd writer present. One that just tapped out a rhythm & told you that you were both wrong. It would have been the stuff allegorical folk tales are made off.
