Jon. I concur. The best teachers can not only explain what works for them, but realise something different may work better for you and then explain it. It may or may not help if a whole bunch of people give advice. Sometimes one person's words 'click' when someone else's don't, even when they're saying the same thing. Sometimes it just gets confusing. In the end, though, it comes down to finding the 'bottom line' and going from there.

If you know which string you want to hit when, and with which finger, the only thing left is to do it over and over. There's a certain relaxed accuracy and economy of motion that only comes with time and practice, but it DOES come.
