It looks as though we have consensus that crosspicking is a flatpicking technique, whether on guitar, mandolin, or some other instrument, and probably derives its name from the idea that successive (eighth) notes are often played on strings that are not adjacent.

Still, GUEST,Andrew is referring to a particular title authored by Tommy Flint. So the question is: did Flint, a rather prolific author of instruction books, just make up the term fingerstyle crosspicking or is this a well-know technique with a large number of practitioners?
