Ok, if I got this right here - If I were to do the tap with my m finger, I then do the strike across the strings with my i finger at the same time? or do I strike across the strings with the same finger I use for the tap? Hugh, Use the same finger, because it's one movement not two separate movements. It happens so fast that the tap and the downstroke sound almost simultaneous. I think the index finger is the most common choice, because it's usually the strongest finger. Todd said he uses his annular finger. That's probably the most logical choice for him. He's holding a pick between his thumb and index fingers and the annular finger is typically stronger than the middle finger. The bottom line is: do what's comfortable for you and gives you the sound you're looking for. Just remember that it's one downward movement. Phil
