One tune, seldom played, that is in the Buckley 1860 book. Page 21, and credited to James Buckley. http://www.timtwiss.com

Thanks. I'm surprised this one gets passed over so often.

Snappy. Up there with Whole Hog and Parlor.

It does not say to, but I do the "Rice Pull" for those. Tons easier.

Yes...comes in mighty handy. No reason not to substitute that for a nail glide. Nail glide...nice, but difficult to control.

Tim, is the so-called 'Rice pull' a left hand pluck?

(not to be confused with a taffy pull)

Ha....yes, that is what it is.

Comment by Strumelia on November 11, 2012 at 10:37pm

Sooo- it's a pure 'stroke' of genius to use that to achieve a triplet instead of a pesky nail glide! Hah is right!
