Hi Jonas, 1) Greg Howe 2) No experience... I play some simple finger style acoustic picking. 3) I'd like to dedicate more time with hybrid picking. With some isolated licks like this I will give it a try! When hybrid picking do you find it better to pluck with a fingernail or tip of finger? Hi Joe, Greg Howe is one of my biggest inspirations, he is such a great artist. I'm glad that you are interested in hybrid picking. For me it's been one of the huge breakthrough techniques, my playing style and lines has become fresher and more melodic thanks to the hybrid approach. I always use the tips of the fingers (I use the 2nd and the 3rd finger as well for hybrid stuff), and I always make sure that my fingernails are short so that they never touch the strings. Most of the hybrid pickers use their fingertips, too. Sounds like a cool lick . 1. not sure....maybe Brian Setzer 2. I play one song "White noise" by the Living End where there is spot with it but I prefer to use just fingers cause the notes sound more even sounding. 3. So far this year I've spent alot of time on sweeping and now doing tapping so maybe after next month could be hybrid picking. Thanks, I'm glad you like it! This technique can give a boost to even the 'simple' pentatonic scale. I'll post more lessons on this topic soon. As you live in Australia, I recommend you one of my biggest influences, the Australian player Brett Garsed. He is one of the most innovative and exciting guitarists out there. He's got the complete package - feel, style, own trademark sound, great melodies, songwriting - and he is a nice, humble, kind person. He has been a judge in my guitar competition here in Hungary. An excerpt from his instructional video, where he talks about hybrid picking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UDNkPUUXjc One of his songs (amazing!) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfWNwYBDu0U |

Brett is awesome. I've checked him out a bit but yeah he is a really tasty player. Thanks for the refresher. I'll check out his instruction stuff too. You know I actually have been using this technique quite a bit now I think about it. Especially for arpeggio stuff. One issue I have though is going from ap or struming into it. I have to re position my pick sometimes. That's why in the above song I mention I have this problem and I find it easier to tuck the pick away and go with fingers. |
