fixing a pluck

<< < (3/3)

Russ:
i put the string on the.... line? fold? well joint under the fingerprint pad and even then i can be on the pad sometimes. my hands dont callous well and no matter how much i work with them, how many blisters i get, how many times i shoot a bow, rock climb on sandstone, workout, flintknapp, my hands just dont callous, so i keep the contact the string has to my hand minimal so i don't get blisters.

i sometimes have had trouble with pluck but then i realize if i make my finger go limp, and pull or follow through at the same time and make sure to basically roll the tips of my fingers across the string than the string rolling across my fingers then i dont have any trouble. sorry if you didnt quite get what i ment. im pretty bad at explaining.

Pat B:
Russell, do you wear a glove or use a tab? You should if not. You can damage the ligaments in your fingers. You might not realize it now but you will later.
 Use a deep hook, put the string on the pad in the middle or your 3 fingers. It seems counter intuitive but it really works, you'll get a cleaner release. 

Russ:
yeah i use or used a tab... lost it tho... still kicking myself about losing it as a guy at the marshals paid for half of it and i kinda think of it like a gift...
