In keeping with the lighthearted tone...

I just spent the last hour really jumping off the deep end of the pool. I've been learning to flatpick/crosspick and was working on my string-skipping (playing open voiced triads on strings 5-3-1 over and over and over). It was driving me crazy so I just started grabbing the 1st string with my middle finger and flatpicking the 5th and 3rd string notes.

OMG that's "Alternating Bass" and it's "Hybrid Picking" all at once. I'm having buzzword overload!!!

I'm going to just call that picking style "Shazam" and nobody can stop me.
