In a recent thread about clawhammer picks, Oldwoodchuck (thanks for all you do) mentioned he knew a couple of people who up pick, and I would assume, strum with very straight fingers from the second knuckle. I discovered this for myself a few months ago (and I thought I'd actually invented it, oh well) and have been working hard at it. It was very awkward at first, but it's coming along nicely. And I think some great rhythmic things are starting to happen. Anyone else doing or trying to do this? If so, please share your thoughts and I'll share mine.
