Hi Muris,
Working on your hybrid picking series - it's wonderful! Here's a question, though... After you turned me on to Guthrie Govan, I've been studying his YouTube videos - you know the ones where he just jams over blues backing tracks. Sometimes he uses hybrid picking and sometimes he doesn't. It seems random, but I'm sure it's not. The question is - when is the time to break into hybrid picking? It seems you, me, or Guthrie can alternate pick most of these licks. Is it strictly for the different tone? Here's the video I can't take my eyes off:

All the best,
