ALTERNATE PICKING WHILE PALM MUTING


No other technique seems to give folks as much trouble as clean alternate picking while palm muting. Let's work on this a bit as it will give your solos great range/dynamics. It creates a very percusive lead sound used by some killer players (Vai, Nuno, etc.)

*The trick is to keep your palm mute planted and pick as much as you can using the finger and thumb instead of the wrist. Many times, folks that have developed a habit of muting with their left hand have serious trouble with this. The good news is, it's easy to fix smile.gif

Todays patch has four presets to try. The ONLY difference is in the EQ section on the RANDAL T1 amp head. Listen to each one to see the impact the tone shaping on the amp itself has on the overall sound then tweak your own version!

FORCING YOUR FINGERS TO OBEY!!


Our fingers get trained every time we pick up the guitar. Sometimes, they get trained in to playing certain sequences and this can make playing unexpected things a bit difficult. Muscle memory can actually get in the way. Let's play a few things that will help to "reset" your hands Muscle Memory.

Fighting The Familiar - This lick should feel familiar. It's a good stepping off point for today's work.

BEYOND TRIPEGGIOS

Let's work a bit on building some licks that push the limits of our stretch and our pinky. These are notorious weak spots for many players. We have done lots of work with "Tripeggios". Let's try to use some of those shapes but in an alternate picking/string traverse context. Let's start with something very very simple to use as a base.

HAVING IT BOTH WAYS

Today we are going to work on combining our ALTERNATE PICKING work with our ECONOMIC PICKING work. We are going to use both type of picking in the same lick. Being able to transition between AP/ECON on the fly is a crucial skill and yet another arrow in your quiver of tools smile.gif

*First up
Something using familiar shapes so you can focus on picking! NOTICE THE PICKING NOTATION in the first bar.

MUSCLE MEMORY: Preventing it from getting in your way.

Today's work will continue our focus on Alternate and Economic Picking being used in the same lick and will also bring in some work on overcoming muscle memory. Muscle memory can be very helpful, but sometimes it can get in your way. Let's start off fairly simple and work our way towards crazy.
