You've hit the nail on the head with the word 'experiment', Stratrat ... learning different techniques is all about experimentation. I think because we and our instruments are all built differently -- different hands, fingers, necks, string action etc. -- there never is any one way of doing anything. Experimentation is the only way to get there. The neat thing is that often you come up your own personal unique way of doing things that help give you 'your' sound.
