"Roger, Is the finger pattern for the D9#5 M5435M rather than M5445M, the A# being on the 3rd fret of the 3rd string? "

Brian N Fuller replied to William Gray's discussion Heavy Picks Anyone?"Hi William - I'm a bit behind on this discussion but have spent time on similar quests for the optimal pick.

"Thanks for adding this Roger. Its great to hear you play and I haven't seen Paul Anastasio since he was with Asleep at the Wheel. I also heard him play in Bellingham a lot back in another life."

- I started playing 5-string banjo and dabbling in guitar and mandolin when I was about 14 years old in western Washington State. I continued that through college and grad school. Then family and career grew and there was neither time for nor continued interest in bluegrass. Fast forward 20 years when about 2 years ago I picked up a guitar and started to pick out tunes that I remember Roger Ferguson and others teaching me a long time ago. It was fun and a lot easier than it was when I was a kid, I don't know why. So now I'm playing guitar, taking lessons, and really enjoying it. Its a great hobby and maybe someday will be more than that for me. I live in Denver now with my wife. Our two college age sons are at home off and on. The youngest starts college as a music major in Fall 2009 and the other is a physics major and opera lover.
Summer 2009 update - Won the Wyoming State Flatpick competition, on to Winfield next week. Should be fun if nothing else.

- Hi Brian, just browsing profiles and trying to acquire an education as a newbie to this flatpicking bluegrass world. Thanks for naming names of flatpickers I can start listening to. I have college age music-minded son also, just about to graduate in music (trumpet performance). He has a band and does gigs and all he thinks about is jazz - the one type of music I'm not all that keen on. Anyway, just looking to make friends on this site and start learning how to segue my rock and roll fingers into a new state of being. Cheers!

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
