Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question...

From Mark: YouTuber; soblindwhobuddy

"Would you be able to do a video on string skipping like the sweep picking video, (which I found incredibly helpful). I know there are other people with string skipping videos on you tube but the way you do your lessons, they always come across really well."

Kind regards,
Mark U.K.

  • Thanks for all of the kind words!!!

    To Clarify Something...

    I think of, "String Crossing Technique," as going between two different strings, while performing non-repetitive melodic lines.

    I think of, "String Skipping Technique," as performing a repetitive pattern of notes for a riff in a song's section, (intro., verse or chorus melody. i.e., "Sweet Child of Mine").

    Skipping or Crossing.

    Hope this helps,

    Andrew

  • I dig your lessons, thanks I am learning so much :-)

  • you met paul? that's awesome, he's my favorite guitarist

  • cool intro...reminds me of some of the counter-point stuff from steve morse.

    Really stoked on that crossed up chromatic exercise...and it's something I can actually play. I've heard people start solos out with versions of that and it sounds really "outside" (maybe because it is)

  • crackin stuff ur musical knowlegde is infinate

  • Wow what a great teacher. Thanks so much. You and David from nextlevelguitar are the best teachers on youtube. You're really patient and explain things well.

  • i was thinkin of the sweet child of mine intro while i was reading this lol

  • random question: Andrew, I was going to by a Semour Duncan JB jr. for a tele, however they stoped making them resently. Would you think settling for a hot rail would be close enough.

  • Fantastic lesson as always!

  • many thanks for getting back to my string skipping question so quickly! I will defiantly be watching all future lessons.  many thanks again Andrew
