Dear Lex,
I agree with Chris: thumb-out does not inhibite playing through both
strings of a double course.
Neither need (or should) the thumb and finger ends meet using
thumb-out as you suppose: the thumb is slightly forward of the fingers.
Probably the best historic
Hi Martyn,
I agree with Chris: thumb-out does not inhibite playing through both
strings of a double course.
It makes it more difficult to go deeper into the low octave string than the
high octave. What I said is that if thumb and fingers are close (at adjacent
courses) there is the

Hi Martyn,
I agree

But if we pluck THROUGH the course, (ie parallel to the plane of the
belly) one can achieve a much greater amplitude without the string
slapping rattleing on the fingerboard/belly and thus will have a strong
bass (as well as its octave) - as I think, the Old Ones would have
