Bogota Rake - Wow!

[assweasel]

Its funny about raking. I too for the longest time could not rake worth a . Pin by pin and I am an excellent picker but with a rake de nada.

So I said enough is enough on an american standard I just couldn't get to pick in the right direction (wrong direction was cake). So I grab a rake and 3 passes and the lock was open. Well I decided that I was going to explore the raking a bit more and in no time became good at it.

Not sure what the turning point is because I could not rake worth a and then all of a sudden I can. Had nothing to do with tools. I think it has to do with the sensory knowledge you gain from picking pinxpin. This eventually translates into how to rake properly

Sorry for a dumb question, but what's a Bogota pick?

and I use a hook most of the time, fyi. but that may change; the only other pick I made turned out to be a key extractor

Asked to open a friends garage, yesterday, I had trouble raking too, I think it was too much beer interfering with my sense of feel.
