Have you tried that?
No, but I will.
Ok Chris I gave it a shot and it worked. It'll take some getting used to but I can do that. I do have a question or concern. Isn't it better to hit the strings over the sound hole to get the best sound? When I placed my palm on the bridge as you suggested I'm hitting the strings behind the sound hole...giving it a little twangy sound....not sure if thats a good description...its a different sound nonetheless.
This trying to get my left hand and right hand to work together is driving me crazy!
