Hey, Tiny -- hope all is well.

I actually learned playing T-I for most of my fast runs (with my middle finger taking care of the 1st, 2nd ,and 3rd strings). I could play incredibly fast ... but I felt like I was always fighting to have good tone. A number of years ago in search of a better tone, I tried switching to T-M. It definitely improved my tone, but I can't seem to get my speed up to T-I. I now consciously try to play T-M for better tone, but in the heat of the moment find myself falling back to T-I very often. I guess it's become hard-wired in my brain!
