McGrath, what's a strum rose? Sounds like a plectrummy hedgehog! Do they fan out like a hedgehog, or are they all just tied together? And how can you play a single note with it if its got some width to it? Sounds quite fun though.

On the plectrum front, how do you stop the plectrum sliding out of your fingers and falling inside the guitar while you're strumming? Is this an issue on hand position? Bcos I kept dropping them, I once tried cutting a plectrum out of a shop loyalty card and filing the edges smooth, which gave a nice big plectrum I couldn't drop! Maybe learning to do it right would be more useful instead, though...
