I meant the high E string. I guess it's more of a "tink" than a thud. The thud would be the 6th string which sometimes happens also.
Great to know I can index finger bar the 1st. I'll have to avoid it with my other bar. I'm still trying to decide if I should go for ring or pinkie for that one. I see advantages to both. It's probably more about personal finger anatomy than anything else. There's always something to work on!
Thanks,
Ron
