Greetings.

[LB1]

Hi nauta. Nice to hear from you. Oh, I haven't given up. However, I doubt 'Ol Toni plays much finger style if he ain't got any fingers as you say. If you saw what the cross perforation unit left me you would understand. I won't ditz anyones musical preference but heavy metal isn't my thing so I haven't tried to play that genre. My brother plays it exclusively and some say he's good. To me, it sounds like HE is the one with a disability( just joking ). I'm just happy to be upright at my age and this is my first forum, so it's hopefully going to be a nice experience getting feedback and learning from others as you just taught me about Toni Iommi's fingers. One has to wonder what impact it had on his creating this type of music. A for me, my playing suffers a little these days as I continue to study electronics and work on the "stuff" I have played with for50 years. I hope  you have had a fine Thanksgiving and hope to hear from you again nauta.
