Here’s me playing this solo, I decided to use a thumbpick for the solo version cuz the first time through is all on the bass strings. I also did this as a duet which you can see here

Excellent 
! And going fwd regarding the thumb pick, I can definitely play that mando WAY louder than I did in our duet… I was barely picking it (which oddly seemed harder than picking loudly 
) to try to keep the dynamics in line since we didnt really have a way to adj that. So… long to short- pick away with that there thumb pick , I’ll be fine 
!

Thanks! Yep, I’ll probably use it next time, although I just remembered my other consideration is balancing my fingers and thumb dynamically
