I've had an epiphani!

For ages I've had trouble with my plucking had technique... Not being fast enough, trouble maintaining 16th notes for a long time etc.

Today I tried lifting my thumb off the pickup just to see what it felt like. Instant freedom! I have so much more movement in my right hand.

I don't know what this technique is called or if it even has a name, but I won't be anchoring my thumb on anything (pickup or string) in the future.

Just wanted to share
