OK thanks for the clarification. In that case, my picking hand (in consideration for left handed players for whom right hand would be the fretting hand) pretty much stays over the sound hole for a "rounder" sound or moves closer to the bridge for a "plinkier" sound. I don't seem to have much use for the softer sound that I would get playing closer to the fretboard.
