I am new to this forum, and wanted to say Mahalo to all those who contributed their knowledge of techniques to this post. My fear of working the heel/toe technique has gone away since reading this forum, which has encouraged me to practice my weaknesses. My wife thinks I'm a nut sitting in front of the T.V practicing heal/toe. I don't care, my technique is improving daily! This forum has revitalized my passion for playing again. Thanx again!
