Right handed techniques

JMJ ...
Are there any right-handed techniques that you really dig or are currently into; but are not really able to utilized, due to the type of work you are usually called upon to play/contribute to? (ie. slap, tapping, pinch harmonics, etc)
 
I do a really sick inverted claw hammer twelve-finger slap-monic pinch tap that will pretty much melt your face off.

In all seriousness: my game is to "store" a pick in between my ring and pinkie, while playing a section with my fingers. And, basically without me knowing, my hands have developed a way of "rolling" the pick back into position between thumb and index finger pretty smoothly. Sometimes I don't even notice I'm doing it, it's weird.

LQTM!

I just got the image of the scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where everyone's faces were melting ... instead of an Ark ... It's JMJ with a couple of extra fingers wailing on his bass ... as face melting fire shoots from around him. :eek:
