No - I don't think it's prissy, etc., at all. (And thanks for the kind words, MT.) I'm just making the point that fingerpicking doesn't have to be all one thing. Even within the same piece, within the framework of a tune, within a picking style, you can get variation and light and shade. What I really enjoy is the unknown quantity that always comes when trying to improvise around a tune - a hangover from jazz days, I suppose. Luckily it works most of the time, though I'm all too conscious of when it doesn't!
