Vivaldi Winter Arpeggios, Practice Alternate Picking Options

[Manu RASSE]

Hi there

On my last REC, Todd Darius and Kris told me to work with my thumb.
I don’t understand how to do this.

On this video, you can watch my wrist and thumb.
If you want you can tell me how to improve it.

Thx you

Kris made you a perfect explanation!!! His feedback not let room to add things....but maybe I can say something.
After you manage the movements that Kris showed you, it's a good moment to start to put accents. It's just a nice add at the same technique. All you need to do it's to push the pick inside the string using the thumb movement to pushing hard. You will see how nice feeling the lick will got. Also at fast speed, accents are essentials to keep the perfect timing, so the thumb movement will do the job in a precisely way.


As a conclusion, using your thumb while picking will help you to have a good control over strings and also to reach higher speeds (because it minimize the move and maximize the speed).
Learning to work with my thumb was the thing which made me able to play the lessons from level 8.
