F O C A L   D Y S T O N I A ...(I have it too, like many others. These blogs are really good for figuring this stuff out!)...  worse than a devils curse on a blind man!  But I will practice one note at a time moving only my first nuckles of my index and ring fingers.....fingers will move vertically like when typing.....maybe after another 40 years of practice I will be able to play "Pick Along"..... I am practically starting over! But thanks for all your research, Phil, because you have corroborated most others who either have this index finger disease or who have found out what it is. 1 comment

Been goofing around with 5-string for decades, but put it down for long periods sometimes. I use a form of frailing known as "rapping" (quite different from the urban-pop singing style normally associated with this name--but done quite quickly as well). Learned from Seeger's books mostly and listening and watching others. I also do bluegrass, but although I am taking lessons currently, I are out of practice right now a bit. My fav. O.T. tune is "The Gatherin' o' The Clans", and my fav. B.G. tune is "Billy in the Low Ground". Bye, Y'all !
