I think Pat Metheny uses more of Hybrid picking and less of alternate picking.. I'm not too sure though.

[MortenFaerestrand]

@TheEvilskum Really? Why do you think that? I have never seen him use hybrid picking, he holds his pick with three fingers, and have a closed right-hand, so I don't see how he even could..

@MortenFaerestrand

You're right. I'm sorry, it was a hunch. But yeah, using hybrid picking might make it easier??

This is fantastic, Morten! You have made me want to play more, develop my style & see where the evolution takes me. There are loads of guitar vids on you tube but this in in the cream of of the crop! You are inspirational & just what aspiring musicians need. The most important aspect of it all is that you come across as a decent, compassionate & sharing human being which this world needs more of.

You just get more amazing Morten, Practice makes perfect eh ? I love jamming along either on the synthesizer or the guitar to Are You Going With Me ? Or au lait or the Bat, love Offramp must've bought it about 10 times since first heard it... Oh have a listen to mike stern on the steps ahead track Beirut !! The vibraphone solo is just pure joy, if I could send it to you I'm sure you'd like it.. How could I share some of my sounds ? Oh will you look at techno pagans on my page did it 20 yrs ago !
