That is a great question. The only time I finger pick is for TAC challenges. I will pay attention and see. Otherwise I always have a flatpick in my hand. I is in my strumming as well as my improv. I always blamed the gauge and tension of the B string. Then I tried the parabolic strings and …same problem. It was/is my technique. I actually have to spend some time doing tone drills with only the B string to keep it sounding sweet. That is nothing fancy just striking the B string in time with different rhythmic patterns.
