Super, Michael and thanks for the testimonial for the books I've written. The Key of D book was the first one published and sold nationally in 1993. It's held up pretty well over the years.
A couple years back when first learning Banjo and utilizing "Claw Hammer" I learned by using Pete Seeger style playing. As you probably know Pete plucked upwards with his index finger rather then downward with it. I think this is helping me now with Don Reno style picking. It already seems natural for me to alternate thumb and index finger. I really look forward to going more in depth on Reno picking. I like Scruggs of course but Reno is really my guy! I'll be putting to use what I learn from you Eddie as I have most everything else including the Mandolin as well.
You are right about the similarity in that technique. I always loved Don. For those of us who started on guitar first, it's easy to see where his ideas came from. I got to meet him and see him before only a few months before he passed away. It was a very small audience, but he gave it his all like a true professional.
Thanks Dan, if you're considering a deep dive into either this or the key of C, consider checking out the pdf book(s) I mention in the video description.
For those watching I have the book and many others of his. All of his material is extremely valuable. Thanks again Eddie for another great video.

Eddie, I really like your videos and this is just another jewel to help us play out of that challenging key of D
