my lord....I thought it was just me with the " short " thumb problem, or the fact that the thumb knuckle would not bend far enough. as a general rule I try to keep away from the thumb over technic and if that's a problem, then take my finger off the high e string and rotate the hand around to enable the thumb to do the bizz aka the snakehips method....it works

I guess the template for thousands of aspiring guitarists around the planet was taken from Scotty's playing. another massive loss and another direct link to the birth of rock'n roll at leasr as I know it
will be sadly missed

here is a curved ball for you to look at, I would never have imagined it but ...check out a guy called matt smith on you tube. its called matt smith gives a killer slide guitar lesson ( in two parts ) he uses an ovation 1778T elite ( made in the usa ) to great effect

hi there maui, I just contacted a billiard / pool table repairer and explained that I needed some felt similar to that fitted on their tables ,in my case he just gave me a metre square piece of it. that was the easy bit , cutting to size and fitting took a wee bit longer.............when fitted it knocked the edge off the " brash " sound
so just have a look in your telephone directory for a repair guy
good luck
