Ben, #12 sounded very “Del-ish”

@BanjoBen, is doing the rest stroke vital to the sound quality or execution of the G run? I learned the G run with different pick strokes to start with, and it’s taken a bit to get your pick pattern down. However, I cannot for the life of me do the rest stroke at higher speeds. It slows down the run and messes up the timing. Is it vital to do the rest stroke, or can the G run be just as good without it?

I do it sometimes and honestly, sometimes I don’t. The pick stroke directions are definitely more important than the rest stroke, in my opinion.
