  • Statistics

  • In this lesson we explore hybrid picking - using a standard pick and clawing additional strings with our middle and ring fingers on the right hand.

    This exercise is in the key of A and progresses through the D, G, and A chords. These licks work equally well in both rhythm and lead situations.

    Enjoy!
