Ron Thal

"So back when I was a teenager I was looking for a way to get all the higher notes on the strings after the fretboard ran out... So I came up with this thing where I went into my mom's sewing box and I got a thimble, little metal cap you use for sewing right there, and I keep it on my smallest finger of my picking hand and I tap with it on the strings once you get higher than the fretboard"
