Murray,
   Is my face red! I've attended workshops and concerts by Dan since the early seventies and never noticed that he was unanchored.
   I don't own a computer, I'm at a cafe right now, but after my last post I went home and examined how I play. I guess I don't really anchor the pinky, but it does touch the pick guard and kinda glides over it sometimes.
   But just think how good Doc and Dan (and Segovia)would've been if they'd learmed how to anchor their pinkies...just kidding.
