Damn, Rick, I couldn't make the pattern come out right when typing to the thread reply. It was something like 1.pinch (thumb and middle finger ) 2. index 3. thumb 4. middle 5. thumb 6. index and 7. thumb. The first six are eighth notes and the last note is a quarter in four/four time. Strings are 1. first and sixth or fifth, 2. second, 3. third, 4. first 5. sixth or fifth 6. second 7. third. Probably clear as mud. It's hard to talk about music!Frank
