Bluegrass and other multi-string skipping examples
It's been awhile since I posted "Part 2" and I'd like to pick this up again.
A few more demos having worked with RDT DBX for a week or two. I tried hard to make the three-finger grip trailing edge contact work, but I just couldn't get a consistent pick feel against the strings. The best motion for me so far might be looked at as a modification of my Wrist Deviation technique in which I raise the big thumb joint up off the strings to approximate the ergo mouse position, extend my pick grip further and down to compensate for the raised thumb joint, and keep my pinky side hand heel anchored behind the bridge near the lower strings. In this position I can access all 6 strings without tracking.

Also 110bpm half notes.
Tempo 110, in keeping with bluegrass tradition that's the half-note tempo, with the eighth note tempo 440 npm (notes per minute).
Trying the trailing edge grip with even more of an angle between the pick and strings. 190bps "backing track".
