When I bump it up a weight, it fixes it for me.
"Why not learn to pluck less with your ring finger?" you ask. Because I'm 72 yrs old and don't want to invest the time when the plan works already.

That is very interesting, thanks for sharing. I've noticed my middle finger pulls a lot harder than my index, something I am still trying to figure out how to balance. I've noticed when I am using just thumb and one finger, I tend to use the middle instead of the index - I always thought that odd.
