While learning to finger-pick Freight Train, I just found out that my bar finger relaxes to much after I land it. Just one more thing to work on
As they say; practice, man, practice!

Yeah for me is that I don't need my index finger straight like an arrow. A little bit of a bend is what feels comfortable for me. Sometimes I apply pressure depending if its an up or down strum. Down strums I put more pressure on the lower strings since those are the ones that stand out. On the up strums I put more pressure on the higher strings because you usually don't even hit the lower strings on an up strum.
