I have a question for the group which I could not find after a bit of searching on the web as well as in the GMC forums. Maybe I am not using the proper terminology or technique name. I have been on GMC for awhile (Although not lately) and recently went to a live teacher to see if I could get some live help and sort tsome thing out in my playing One of the first things he is trying to get me to do is to use my right hand ring finger(4) and middle finger(3), along with the pick at the same time when doing scales and such. Even picking 2 strings at same time with this method. I know there are many players who do this but it is completely foreign to me as I have been taught day one to just alternate pick, so I am having a hard time sorting it out while learning the other stuff I am focusing on with the scales. Is this a preferred technique or something I should try to develop and any lessons on this technique, or could this just be this teachers personal opinion. Is there a preferred way to do this (like always use your ring finger for high e string, middle for b string and for the other 4 strings use the pick. Any guidance would be appreciated . Michael Well, this technique is called "hybrid-picking", as it is used in this example. You need it for some cool Chords, but personally I never practiced it until now. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Chord-Melodies/ But one of the Instructors will be able to post a better answer for sure |

Hey mate - Hybrid picking it is called indeed and in order to get more acquainted with it, you can take a look over the following lessons:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/hybrid-picking-beginner/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Violins-Hybrid-Picking/ You can also try the one that Terence suggested, but that one is a bit difficult maybe at the moment |

That's correct - it's hybrid picking Check out Damjan Pejcinoski - he uses it a lot

Ben is right - if he is only trying to teach you a new technique, it's cool, but it's not cool to make you use that one exclusively, especially if you don't like it

I'm learning and drilling the hybrid picking technique into me at the moment.
whilst I'm a fairly good fingerstyle player, it still has me back to the basics and taking things slowly. For scales it's really useful if you want to incorporate open strings, and then you've got all the country stuff like chicken pickin' , banjo rolls rhythm playing and double stops etc -------------------- My SoundCloud

On another note Rick Graham uses it a lot too: |

As the other guys said, this is a great technique to add to your playing, but you don't necessary have to use only this technique for everything. In this lesson you will find how Ritchie Kotzen uses it:
