i've played a few guitars but nothing has been close to the playability of a yamaha CPX500ii ray. you should definitely check one out, they've even released a cpxiii recently. i love how easy the neck is.
WOW! I have a Yamaha APX500ii, and it is by far the best acoustic I have ever played. I received it as a gift, so I would have preferred the CPX500ii, like you have, only because the CPX body is a bit larger (I'm a big dude).
OK, so getting back to the topic at hand,,,SAROD PICKING: I watched your video about 10 times, and your wrist motion looks good. Sarod picking consists of "shaking" the wrist, keeping the picking-hand thumb stiff, but the motion is fluid and relaxed. Hopefully, Pebber will have a chance to check this out and share his thoughts, as well. Keep it up, Ashan!
