No, but Monkeyfinger really helped me get this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player\_embedded&v=Z2a7zxFopoQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Z2a7zxFopoQ) Probably somebody will post a vid later but in the mean time.

There were some really good comments he gave me too but they are deleted. Youtube!

The Monkeyfinger figure 8 is kinda weird-looking with that slack at the end

I do it like once but it’s easier to do like a trapeze figure 8 motion and then transition on to the one and a half mount.

Also, practicing figure 8 horizontally is pretty easy- that’s how I learned it.
