Hybrid picking guitar riff

[migasaguiar]

This is called chicken picking, used mainly in country and bluegrass, not clawhammer. Clawhammer is a banjo techinque that sometimes is adapted to other instruments like the ukelele and the dulcimer.

[JMBELK]

great idea Man ...!!!

[Capnkeez]

[vonhasselbach]

Yes indeed.

[beaconmr]

What guitar is that? Washburn?

[nero8151972]

Excellent post! Remind's me of some old Jerry Reed. Nice......

[banjoleper]

Hi, per the questions asked, yes, this is not clawhammer. It is very nice, though. Clawhammer is a banjo technique involving all downpicking with the back of the nails, and the thumb is on the off beat, and there is very little finger movement cos the hand is shaped like a Claw. What you see here is fingerpicking, not clawhammer.

This is not an put down at all, just a clarification. Nice piece anyway.

[vonhasselbach]

Thanks!

[BillyShears1600]

It would actually be hybrid picking.

[hughman174]

exactly

[MaxenTheSaxon]

[iLoseTechnology]

:O really great job. thanks a bunch for sharing

[jackosn0863]

Nice playing and all but i thought it was called hybrid picking.

[vonhasselbach]

Could be. I always thought it was called clawhammer in reference to (1) the shape you make with your fingers, and (2) the way you pluck by pulling the strings up and away from the guitar, just like a claw hammer pulls out old nails. Another commenter has suggested that what I'm really doing is "frailing," though I'd never heard that term before.

[jackosn0863]

Its probably somthing that could be aruged over but not really solved. so i guess it could go either way. Im sure you seen MKguitarstyle's channel? you could proba ask him what technique it is if you wanna get technical.

[MusicEd1]

Very cool and right up my alley. Great job. Peace.

[gretscher]

Man, what model and make is that guitar, it looks great.

[vonhasselbach]

It's a Washburn Woodstock Studio A, c. 1985

Una estupenda lección de guitarra .¿Podrías mandarme la tablatura del punteo final?. Gracias.Te he grabado en mis favoritos.

[vonhasselbach]

¡Gracias! Tristamente, no sé escribir la tablatura. Al final estoy toconda sobre todo los tonos de la escala pentatónica con las notas de un acorde A7 (La7).

[elliotlovesfox]
