To say that plucking the string closer to the bridge is "louder" opens
a few cans of worms here. To pluck the string at any place along its
length from 12th fret to near the bridge is to put the same amount of
energy into the string but introduces various overtones depending on

So true, Robert (and Martyn). The loss of thumb-index alternation also
