Great lesson...thanks! In this style, I have been trying to hit both alternating bass notes with my thumb, your method of hitting the low bass with the thumb and the high bass (d string on g chord) with the index finger sounds much better. I'll give it a whirl.

really great explanation of this style, When played normal it can be kind of difficult to realize that this is simply a bass pattern with a melody
