Hi Chris, thanks so much,that is very interesting! I meant floating not sweeping - I confused those two. I would still be interested in your floating technique. Could you show us a bit more about your right hand technique in an upcoming video?

Hi Chris, thanks for that lesson and your very inspiring music! I am still a beginner when it comes to flatpicking but I noticed that you are among a few players I know who don't (or rarely) use the pinky in your picking hand to stay anchored when flatpicking. Can you explain a little bit more about that "sweeping" technique you use (I read that some call this technique sweeping)? It feels a little bit difficult for me when flatpicking and playing lines that involve several strings. At that point it seems to be easier to use the pinky or using the palm of my hand to lay my hand down so I am centered somwhere and don't accidentally hit other strings. It  looks so easy and elegant when you play - how do you get such good control in your picking hand when you're mostly touching the guitar with your elbow?
