Hi-
I'm a professional player, and would love to take this down time to work on my right hand technique. I tend to anchor it with my 4th and 5th fingers, and get a great tone (if I may be so bold), but think I could do better with speed if I didn't. I play classical violin, where any bad habits show up quickly when you play the repertoire. I'm also working on improving my right hand on pedal steel guitar, another instrument I taught myself. In that case there is a video by the great, late teacher Jeff Newman that is immensely helpful, even to pros (maybe especially). Are there are resources like that for right hand mandolin technique? I'm not interested in becoming Chris Thiele, but I would like to be able to throw down some 16th note triplets occasionally in a brisk tempo. I have the time to correct bad habits now. I doubt a book would be any help, but a video or online lesson would. Any ideas?
