Do a 'roll' with T T I T T I T I or T T M T T M T M. I like doing that and do it
as well as T I M T I M T I, etc. It's a bit of a different sound, and to me is
often more than a little punchier.
BTW, Kathy, it was great playing double dobro with you the other nite with you
on your killer Randy Allen guitar and me on the 8-string National Model D.
Looking forward to being your capo on Little Maggie in B.
