Just for Laughs

Well, I guess I will have to play that video in slow motion then and see what I can figure out. :slight_smile: Thank you for sharing the videos and letting us know about the dangers of not relaxing you picking hand.

Looks like you are doing a forward roll with thumb moving between 3,4, and 5 along to the melody while index and middle are playing 1 and 2. Does that sound about right?

On Pretty Polly, the first finger should be hitting third string for most of it…but does hit the second a few times in the later part of each phrase.
