Speed Picking
Over the years of playing, performing and teaching guitar, one of the biggest
problems encountered is not with the left hand fingerings as much as with the
right hand picking technique. Many guitarists openly admit that their picking
is pretty bad.
Unfortunately, there is not much written on this particular subject and that is
the purpose of this book, to give you an insight into the techniques that I have
been developing and using that really work. The basic idea has been with us for
many years and can be used to achieve mind-boggling speed and flawless accuracy
while being completely relaxed in the right hand.
I refer to this style of picking as SPEED PICKING (sometimes referred to as
sweep picking). A lot of us know at least one SPEED PICKING lick:
In this example of SPEED PICKING, one down stroke is used for the first 3 notes
and a Hammer-on for the last note. Most guitarists have played this simple lick
at some time or another and leave the technique at that, little knowing how far
this germ of an idea may be taken.
The most common style of picking today is 'Alternate' picking (down up down)
or the reverse (up down up) which is an excellent way to pick and I am by no
means trying to talk anyone out of it. What I am trying to do is broaden your
horizon. Alternate picking is fine for scale-type runs but just doesn't cut it for
arpeggios or lines where there is only one note per string for example.
SPEED PICKING is actually partly alternate picking except, whenever a str ing
is crossed, one stroke is used for the two notes whether going from low to high
or the reverse.
