to Bo Dahlbom,

You ask about using the thumb on the slide button.

Yes, I think it is inherently slower than the forefinger, middle finger, or
almost any other part of your hand BUT ... does it work for you?  If it does and
it suits your style of playing, use it.   Don't agonize too much over how you do
it, listen to the results.  If the results are not satisfactory, THEN experiment
in a different way.

Before my classical buddies empty pails of some noxious waste material all over
me for betraying the trust of the true way, think about Brenden Power.
