It makes for more. Don't ask me why, it just does. It kind of reminds me of a great old banjo player i know. When i asked him to break down
the way he used his picking hand he said, impatiently, "WHAT'S THERE TO SHOW?! EITHER U JUST PICK UP THE DAMN THING AND DO IT LIKE THIS OR
YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY!"
now, i don't mean to say that your question deserves such a harsh response, but i am giving u the same answer: which is, I DONT KNOW how to
explain it, its just that way! :)
