[audiophile0928]

damn that is some awsome tone... anyone know that kind of guitar that is?

[RocFace66]

sorry that i seem ignorant, but what is hybrid picking?

[KillWill3]

The most efficient way of picking besides sweep picking. It's where if you are going to down then you down pick even if you just picked down. Same for going up. It saves hand movement and allows you to play faster. I used to do it a lot, and still do soem naturally, but I don't try. My teachers would always yell at me for it even though I would stay in time...

[Erock503]

that's economy picking you are describing. He's picking with his middle finger and pick for hybrid picking.

[Chikimefuiki]

hybrid picking is basically finger picking while using a pick, using the fingers which are not holding the pick to...pick

[AndyAtlanta]

I like it - you could move the mike closer to your mouth so we can hear you better - AA

[PrinceAvison]

nice :) a good hybrid picking exercise

[AzraelNY]

and i should have looked at the comment first... since a tab is provided, nice vid

[AzraelNY]

Well, you are certainly a good guitar player but the lesson seems to be designed for someone who already knows exactly what you are doing. I know some types of the pentatonic scale but i have no idea what you are doing in that video. unless you have a written tab that comes with this video it would be nice if you played slower first and put your fret board closer to the camera to show each note that needs to be played.

[Ogorek]

Sounds cool. Thanks
