Another member here inspired me to share a short practice video. I've never had a formal lesson, and I'm specifically looking for some input on my right hand. I've been practicing for about two years (an hour a day), and my right hand has been "evolving" the entire time. After all of this time, I'm still not sure if I've really made any progress. I feel like my thumb sticks out to the side, but I can't seem to find another hand position where my thumb moves more towards the palm. Oddly enough, when I loose the picks, my thumb doesn't seem quite as rigid (but picks are a necessity when it comes to bluegrass. . .) Anyway, please let me know what you think. This is me practicing the forward roll at 60 BPM. On my very best days, I can comfortably get the forward roll up to about 110 BPM- today was not one of those days!
