Many thanks to you all for responding. I'll push on with the finger flips, they
work for me and I can do them naturally and fast. I just need to work on
intonation and muting more, that'll come with time. If I continued trying the
wrist flips I would probably just quit trying to do slants altogether, and I
don't want to do that.
This question came from the Huck Finn festival where I had a guy at a jam tell
me that I was doing it all wrong, that you had to hold the bar with the index
finger over the top and that wrist flips were the "only right way" to do slants.
I know him from other jams and he is a somewhat respected and accomplished
musician, but the squareneck is not his primary instrument so I wanted to hear
more about this from people who specialize in it...
I appreciate hearing the other side of this coin, here, where the real
experience is. Thanks again!
Best,
-- Don
