1. Along the lines of Amy's post, one of the best pickers I've had the pleasure to be around was a buddy back in Wisconsin whose picking style I believe was what some call "blended." He'd keep a flatpick between thumb and forefinger and then use the other 3 fingers for fleshing out the chord structure and the melody. He's also a stellar lead player, so this approach allows him shift seamlessly into lead. Just a joy to watch/hear.
Hmm. One post featuring 3 buddies. ;-}

I tried this last night (just spent about 5 minutes to see what it felt like).
I think I can work with this. It gives me the the pick for E, A, D and my other three for the G, B, and e. I can see where the middle would need to cover the D occasionally but thanks, great call.
BTW, I have no idea if this is the right way to do this, but it felt good to me.
