Folks,
I know most people here started on guitar before switching to mandolin, and we get a lot of questions about that. I actually started on guitar, but it was a LONG time ago, and I never really got to learning how to flat-pick before I switched. So, looking for advice about making the switch to guitar, specifically for flat-picking.
I recently decided to try learning any new tune I learn on guitar as I'm learning it on mandolin. On Big Sciota, I've been sliding up to put my index finger on the E on the B string for the end of the A part and through most of the B part. Is that how it would typically be flat-picked?
More generally, any advice about flat-picking on guitar, especially when it come to when and where to change hand positions? Any books that start pretty simply for flat-picking but don't assume someone has little to no musical knowledge?
