Thanks for the double thumbing pattern Rick. Very nice.

Here's a picking pattern in 4/4 someone recently gave me. I think it would be best suited for a song where the chords last two bars each: it would sound pretty busy packed into one bar. I'll give the pattern here for a 6 string chord; for a 5 string chord you would let the 5th string be your first bass and the 4th be the second bass, and reverse those for a 4 string chord.
