RDT DBX Part 2

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.

A few days working with Reverse Dart Thrower

My goal is a DBX mechanic suitable for Bluegrass and Andy Wood style shredding. The "baseline" videos included here are the mechanic I've been using for the last few years, since I became aware of CTC and Andy Wood. I arrived at this mechanic trying to replicate Andy's mechanic. The "RDT" videos here are after a few days of working with the new RDT lessons on CTC. Comments are welcome on any and all, but mainly please comment on my attempts at RDT and if I seem to be on the right track.
