Thread Name: Crosspicking Guitar
Subject: RE: Help: Crosspicking Guitar
From what has been said above it looks to me that fingerstyle crosspicking would have to include an element of frailing, which is what most banjo players do anyway. For those unfamiliar with the word, frailing is picking with the front face (backhand side) of the nail, rather than the back face (forehand side) of the nail. Mix the two techniques and see who gets cross about it (Geoff the Duck, probably).
