Very nicely done! His playing is the main reason I picked up the beast in the first place, and continue to find inspiration as a player and musician. Thank you for this.

It works in Japanese (who "stole" it from Chinese), which is where I lived at the time and used it as a signature ;). You are correct, though "pluck" is the proper interpretation. Chinese is Greek to...
