I've just stumbled upon your Hybrid Madness lesson and was curious when using your middle and ring finger to do the picking, I felt like it would be easier to use your middle finger after the second downstroke with the pick. For example, in the first riff, the first time you play the D on the 7th fret with the ring finger, wouldn't it be easier to use your middle finger since your hand moves down a string to play the down and upstroke around that D on the 7th fret? Sorry if this is confusing. If there is an advantage to using your ring finger there I'd like to know so I don't create a bad habit using my middle finger when I shouldn't! Thanks
Hey man! good question, but the easiest way to use this technique is using pick,middle and ring finger. Maybe in this particular case it´s pretty much the same to use middle or ring, and you might feel it easier to use your middle finger, but when you have to use different strings, larger intervals or different shapes it´s much easier to use your ring. If you use your middle finger in these cases you will lose velocity and it´s not a natural feel. Keep in mind that this technique is usually followed by legato so the correct usage of fingers is very important.
If you want I can send you a guitarpro file for more clarity.
I´m also available for private lessons.
