It is a simple but effective technique You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The picks i can get for really really cheap with the cool design on etc. sound realy good- (they get quite mangled after just one scrape though) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Is the basic technique to push the pick against the string like "/" moving toward the headstock or to drag or pull the pick like this "\" toward the headstock. Thanks for your input.

The tab says do it on the D and G strings but the G strings doesn't seem to make a noise at all when you scrape is across that. I don't know which direction or where to start from or whether you've got to wriggle it or something You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
