Hello Ian,
You have to be careful whith the cartoons. If you say "pick" it's an slang word in dutch meaning the male part on the bottom of the body. Also this is the reason that when you're young, the arm is strong, so you can pick downwards on the guitar. when you're old the arm is weaker and holding down. So you have to pick upwards. So does Hank. To make this complete I tell you how the slang word in Dutch is for the female part. It's "cut". Funny!!
Peter.
Reminds me of a friend of mine in the early seventies who got a job in Holland. He was with some dutch friends one night out for a drink. He made a remark about feeling half cut, to which all his friends burst out laughing at him, he wondered what was so funny.
They explained what he'd just said. When in Scotland, if you say you are half cut, it means you are well on your way to being drunk
