leadfingers ,
the point is that since I am having difficulty with a metal fingerpick for frailing and cant grow my nails,i can use a flatpick successfully,drop thumbing can be done easily with a flat pick,double thumbing or its equivalent can then be done easier with a flat pick,the bum ditty can be done more easily,[with a flat pick],plus I will have a unique sound because the dit of the bum ditty[could contain the high g of course it doesnt have to[with practice you could put a stop in] and it would be reversed so it would sound low to high [for the ty]then high g on an up]but the dit with a down stroke.
however, would it be possible to change the strings round so they were just like a normal 5 string,but with the high [g] string in a different place.
no one criticised libba cotten for playing guitar upside down.
