I'm having a hard time thinking about the term "crosspicking" applied to a
fingerpicking roll. Seems to me it's a flatpicking guitar or mandolin technique
designed at least in part to mimic a (usually) forward banjo (or dobro) roll. So
on a dobro, it's a "roll."
When I teach crosspicking on guitar, I refer to the patterns as rolls as well,
as that seems the best descriptive term to use (forward, backward,
forward/reverse). Banjo terminology includes a "square" roll (TITM) but in fact
(IMHO) that's not a roll at all... it more mimics, turnabout's fair play after
all, a guitar Travis-type pattern.
Just my thoughts...
