Just bringing this thread up to the top so I will have an easier time finding it when I come back to it a little later today. I have been playing guitar for about 33 years, starting as a serious student of classical guitar (used to perform classical guitar publicly quite a bit in my earlier years), and ultimately transferring a lot of the technique to steel strings. There are adjustments to be made along the way, but a lot of the technique is really worth hanging onto and/or adapting. I'll be back...
