Comping & Hybrid Picking Rhythm Guitar Techniques

[yonkeythedonkey]

Heheheh "playing sTuperstition by Stevie Wonder"

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

I'm absolutely facinated by the rhythm side of the electric guitar, and am concentrating my 1st efforts at learning the instrument on that. Do you find you have to adjust your output tone when you go hybrid style, by that I mean do you have to adjust down the low or bass and up the trebble so your finger picked notes stand out more? Perhaps I am asking this because my fingernails are too short and can't get the same sound I can from the pick. Thanks for this video.

I never sign into my account, but use youtube all the time, so i just came to say you're a great teacher.

[ottou22]

Dear Andrew, a lot of great guitar players don't use nails with hybrid picking, for example : Tommy Emmanuel. Having even short nails are certainly not necessary to play well.

[ankitrajmasihyoutub1]

what if i use my thumb instead of pick...??

will it make any difference......??

[kharlos84]

@ankitrajmasihyoutub1 tone..... maybe

[OsamasInferno360]

@ankitrajmasihyoutub1 depends on what you mean difference. Like kharlos84 said, it will provide a warmer tone with less treble and attack, like the tone knob was turned down. If you used pick, you have less fingers to use for comping.

Thank you sir! You are a really great teacher! :)

[steveo27545]

Steve is a great player, I am sure he was a great teacher, your a fine teacher as well like your voice

[TheEnigma7111]

i think one word describes him

PERFECTIONIST

[michaelmao1988]

by far the best teacher on youtube...

[even200x]

YES a damn fine teacher. My favorite channel. I bet that is the Hector from YOUTUBE. He rips on that guitar. The sound of Hector's guitar is exsquisite too.

[psychopathtoine]

I'm so happy i found your channel!! finally someone who doesn't just play a lick and explains how to play that. I like that you really explain the technique. 5 Stars!!

[fresh1air]

I agree!!! He's such a great teacher!

[t3tsuyaguy1]

@psychopathtoine You may also enjoy a chap named Justin Sandercoe.

[ambassador7]

By far the best guitar teacher I have found on YouTube.

Thanks. I think I will be spending quite a bit of time looking through th rest of your stuff!!

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

@ambassador7 i agree, like on his "how to restring a floyd rose tremolo" lesson he is detailed and helpful, everyone else is just like "undo the nut restring it put the nut back on and done" and its like, oh thanks you just didnt help me at all, 5 stars for this teacher

[ilovestinalots]

what is that black thing on the guitar? its been bugging me since i fist started watching

[DeuceWayne420]

its a synth pickup that can make you guitar sound slike almost any instrment (look for the vid)

i wantz it

[testekleez]

It's a midi thing for the synthesizer.

[testekleez]

watch?v=cVwM-3Duy8U

He shows you in the vid so that should no longer bother you any longer lol.

[Julien1345]

Great lessons Andrew, still dont understand why you just got so little views.

Other People just teach licks or things like that but you help people to actually get a better guitar player and not just teach licks that people could work out alone.

Appreciate it a lot thanks.

[funtochill431]

I agree with you Julien1345...

Andrew's lessons are extraordinarily superior to almost all the other YouTube guitar teachers!

He is very laid-back, speaks well and is phenomenal at relating all of the complex ideas of music & guitar technique.

I have read that internet marketing takes quite awhile, and gaining a subscriber-base on YouTube can take a long time as well.

To help out I say we all should forward his lesson videos to 3 or 5 friends of ours.

Might help him grow a better audience.

[HugoDesMusic]

@Julien1345 totaly agree.

[rudocurtir]

Hi Andy! Aren't the fingerings at 5:03 mistaken?

Usually Gmajor is: 3-2-0-0-0-3 :/

[rudocurtir]

Btw, I didn't mean to sound rude (despite my username lol).

Cheers :)

[funtochill431]

Hey "rudocurtir"...

I (personally) have never seen a fingering for a G Major open chord given as you've given it in your comment.

I just looked at my own, "Hal Leonard," chord dictionary and it gave a fingering of:

3-2-0-0-0-4

Where exactly did you see the third finger used on both 6th and 1st guitar strings? I can't even do that, (just tried). It causes the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings to kill-out.

Just curious... Pls. Reply!

[SoyDonaldo]

What he had there was the fingering for fretting the chord. 3 = ring finger, 2 = middle finger, 4 = little finger. If you look at his fretboard diagram, he did use the chord that you mentioned.

[rudocurtir]

haha, I read it wrong, I didn't think of the fingering, just the frets... sorry.

[funtochill431]

Man... your videos just keep getting better and better. I like the addition of the chord diagrams

that pop-up now - they are SUPER helpful.

Do you have a Donate button off of one of your websites???

Please Reply - I would like to offer a donation.

I think you deserve to be getting paid... my word,

doing all of these videos must be a ton of WORK!

Thank you so MUCH for all of the free knowledge,

you are a total MASTER of the guitar.

I will ALWAYS Subscribe to you.
