Doc Watson has always used two fingers for three finger rolls, or
T11 T11 on his signature tunes such as
Deep River Blues, Windy & Warm, etc... I guess it's what sounds
good
to him.
and Pete's right about "punch"... as a recovering banjo player I
understand the power of the third finger.. somehow it's more crisp
in runs.. Mike Auldridge favors the third finger over the first for
2 finger rolls... TM TM TM
now back to practicing... Wintergrass is looking me right in the
face
and, as usual, I'm not ready... : > )
