I was wondering what fingering experienced players used on fast four note reverse rolls or runs. Say you’re at the 10th fret AB pedals down. You play strings 3, 4, 5, 6 then go to 8th fret play strings 3, 4, 5, 6 then the 5th fret AB pedals down, strings 3, 4, 5, 6 finish at 3rd fret, Block all notes . Pardon my use of a not a very musical example but hopefully you get the idea. My inclination is to play it fingers 2, 1, T, T but 2 , 2 , 1 , T seems like it would be more efficient. While I’m asking, if these were forward runs which fingers would you use? I apologize in advance if this is a dumb newbie question.

T 1 2 T

Crossing over and blocking.

Kind of tricky, but it's the only way I've found to play one of Gary Morse's favorite licks.

If I thought I could play that run as well as he can by shaving my head, out would come the razor.
