I just started with Hybrid picking (using the pick and fingers) and a GMC lesson helped me with that a lot! BUT...I can't remember which one was it, I mean, I know which one it is, but I can't remember the name, let me look for it,
(5mins later) oh I found it... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Killer...-Richie-Kotzen/ That is one great lesson to isolate the technique, it's not really easy, but once you master it, you feel like a golden shiny light from the heavens...sounds good? then do it I started really slow, painfully slow, to get the hold on the finger technique, and gradually sped up, -------------------- Visit my:

I sometimes play around with the hybrid technique sometimes but I've never put any real effort into it. I look forward to seeing how it complements your playing ! |

My nemesis is a weird technique called "legato"...I wish one of our instructors would do a lesson series based on legato...oh wait...
Sweeping is great, never put that much effort in it but it is fun when I play it at slower tempos. I like Lian's lesson a lot: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Sweeps_Major_and_Minor/ Todd, these tripeggios you showed as last time are pretty cool. I think it would be fun to work on full sweeps in your chat. Oh, there's another dreaded technique of mine. It was born in Atlanta, in a place with lots of parties and police sirens disturbing the peaceful quiet and it's called "thumbless double picking at 200+ bpm". -------------------- |

Techniques that I explored less are tapping and hybrid picking. I'm now using some GMC lessons to work on this techniques.
for hybrid picking I started with this one... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Lead-Hybrid-Picking/ for tapping I used these great series... Tapping 8 fingers? I'm also working on speed, to master this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...me-neo-classic/ -------------------- My lessons

Yeah it's one of those techniques that sounds great but tends to get overlooked I wish one of our instructors would do a lesson series based on legato...oh wait... Nah, I can't see it happening personally.. Techniques that I explored less are tapping and hybrid picking. I'm now using some GMC lessons to work on this techniques. for hybrid picking I started with this one... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Lead-Hybrid-Picking/ for tapping I used these great series...

Hmmm Guess I have two Nemesis Techniques at the moment. Here they are in order of "Nemesisness"
1. Sweep Picking. I'm a whole lot better than I was at it, but I still struggle with it. The lesson that helped me to develop the technique and bring it to the point I'm at now was this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/the-first-noel/ David's "The First Noel" lesson has two fairly simple major chord 5 string sweeps in it, and the rest of the song is pretty easy. I took those sweep shapes he used in that lesson and applied them up and down the neck, and it has really helped me to get an understanding of the required hand movements for sweeping. I'm still no Paul Gilbert at it, but at least I'm improving. 2. Legato descending on the 5th and 6th strings. I can play pretty good legato going from the sixth string to the first, or ascending the scale, but when I go from the 1st string to the sixth, I do ok on the first four strings, but the 5th and 6th strings give me trouble. Particularly when I play wide patterns, say for instance 3 note per string Ionian mode, I have trouble making the pull offs needed for legato smooth and even. I have really been working on this one in the last 2 weeks and I have to say I have gotten better at it, but I still say it is a tough one for me. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

Which strings do you mean ? Sorry, I've just never referred to the strings by number so I'm not used to it.. do you mean the B & high E string ? No low E and and A string. Those are the ones that give me trouble. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

Yeah I actually have been practicing that classical hand position, at first it felt really akward because I wasn't used to it. Now its more comfortable, and this week I have been playing through all the three note per string modal patterns up and down the neck, trying to play them with legato not real blazing fast but steady, and specifically making sure the legato on the low E and A strings is smooth. Its getting better, so guess the old saying is true...practice does indeed pay off! ...Now If I could just get that darn sweeping down! there is always something
