Do any of you find yourself combining up picking and down picking when you're playing clawhammer? Lately, I just seem to find that things go better when I get some of the notes by up picking, rather than down picking with my index finger. It isn't really a conscious thing, I don't, as I'm playing, think "well, I believe I'll up- pick those next two notes", it just happens. I'm finding that my index finger seems to sense when one would be better than the other.
Is this yet another bad habit that I have to stamp out?
