Thread Name: Crosspicking Guitar
Subject: RE: Help: Crosspicking Guitar
See now.....there oughta be a law.

The nomenclature lawyers gotta get on this because....what Mark quoted as "crosspicking" by Mr. Flint, when referring to fingerpicking...
....would be called "floating" when flatpicking.

So now my head is spinning.
If I'm playing fingerstyle I can crosspick a piece that I might have used a floating technique with a flatpick...but if I flatpick in a crosspicking style I'm actually imitating the sound that I get when playing fingerstyle...except when I'm floating then I sound like I'm playing a harp.....

..so, who's on first?
