Yea, Mark, and then there is the "hold the fiddle way down below the shoulder" method. I can also pizz my chords in either a fiddle or guitar position. Or left hand pizz, for that matter. We have a great tune called Bear Creek Hop that begins with pizz/arco x 4.
I thought I knew theory but I am still confoozeled about this Maj7th/flatted 7th stuff..........I thought flatted 7th was only in Mixolydian mode (here we go on modes again..........)
