Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Hybrid Picking Exercises
Lesson by Russel Cash. Link to original Lesson:here Guitar: Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Amp: Line 6 HD500, Vox AC30, Top Boost model. DAW :Sonar Video Cam: Sony Vegas. This lesson was my first ever venture into country style guitar. It's kind of a "Country Riffing" sort of tune and follows a basic I, IV, V progression in Emaj. It was great for working on hybrid cause in addition to the cool sounding tune, it was easy to memorize and a little bit longer than some of the other GMC lessons. The length made it good for working on "getting through the changes". The trickiest part for me was the chromatic descending stuff in the 2nd part. I think it was because you're down on the b and e strings so you have reach a little bit and the pick and picking finger very close to each other during that part. The main thing I noticed was that, with hybrid, it's best to let your fingers do the work instead of the wrist. I think this will work out best with other hybrid picking tunes as well. Once you get used to "pulling" with your "hybrid fingers", it gets a lot easier to play quickly with this technique. I had to work pretty hard to get through a take as cleanly as the video below. It's not perfect cause there are a few notes that were played too softly. Something to work on going forward is going to be even-ness of volume. Even with a lots of compression, you still have to pick each note with reasonable consistency to get a smooth solid tone. Like I said in a post before "Country Guitar Rocks!". Thanks Russel for a great lesson.  This post has been edited by skennington: Jul 18 2011, 04:11 PM |
