OK, yes, I think you are correct.  What I was saying has to do more
with how far the hammer rest rail is relative to the strings.  My bad.

I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

I tend to be regulationally challenged.  At this point in my career, I
haven't done enough of it regularly to acheive "fluency."  I can
always figure it out, given adequate time.  One thing that helps me,
though, is knowing there aren't an infinite number of possibilities.
The more I do it, the better and faster it goes.
