Hi Folks,
I recently got Brad Leftwich's great book on the round peak style. I'm enjoying it, but there's one thing that's really throwing me off. As the title suggests, in most of his tab's Brad has you striking the open 5th with your thumb as you simultaneously play the second note of your slide. I've always just come across the slide by itself. I'm finding this very awkward and difficult to pull off correctly.
Has anyone else had difficulty with this? Is it just a matter practice and getting used to it? (I kind of assume it is). Any tips or tricks on this technique? Thanks!
