![]() ALTERNATE PICKING TIPS AND TRICKS 1.)Choke up on the pick. Only the point should be sticking out. 2.)Try holding the pick so that the point is at a 90 degre angle to your thumb. 3.)Try a very heavy pick, 1.2 MM or greater so as to eliminate "flex" in the pick. 4.)Try to sharpen your pick to a point with sandpaper or dremmel or what not so that the surface area striking the string is as small as possible. There are some "training" picks that are shaped this way on purpose. 5.)Work with a metronome ALWAYS so that you keep your picking even. 6.)MOST IMPORTANT: Join me this saturday and every saturday for a live VIDEO CHAT lesson on ALTERNATE PICKING. We have been doing a series on that very topic for several weeks now. Here are the notes so far. Many great workouts to try. LESSON NOTES ON GMC FOR MY ALTERNATE PICKING SERIES Above all Practice! |
