I'm considering trying to add some two finger picking to my repertoire and I'm not sure if I want to focus first on thumb or index lead. I've searched and read much of the material on the site in which people ask "which is better?" or "what are the advantages?" of one vs the other. I understand at some level that index lead can be thought of much like clawhammer but with uppicking, whereas thumb lead puts the drone on a different beat. I also understand that some players can switch from one to the other in the same tune as they see fit. I don't really have a good internal sense, however, of how one sounds vs the other. I'm hoping someone can point me to an example, preferably by the same player, of same tune being played using both techniques. Anyone?
