Why? It increases the tension in the right hand, limits the tonal options by ensuring you pick in the one position - whereas moving along the length of the strings can offer other tonal possibilities- and also limits the option of employing hybrid or pick-and-finger playing at will.
Scotty - is it worth getting out of the habit once its established?
