- Gabriel Leopardi5th October 2020Great lesson! I have a question regarding playing faster hybrid picking parts. Are you using your finger to pluck the E notes on the D string to get that snap sound? If so, do you have any pointers on how to combine alternate picking and hybrid picking? For example, do you always use a downpicked note before the plucked note or do you use regular alternate picking? I find it easier to pick up down on the first pair of muted notes before I pluck the E note on the D string. On the second pair of muted notes, picking up then down again slows me down right after plucking the E note. I'd normally just alternate pick a part like this, but I'm not sure on how to combine that up hybrid picking. I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!
Hi Skeletor! I agree, Chris country lessons are amazing!
Your question really makes sense. There are two recommended pickings for that type of licks. The first one is "Up - Down - Finger", the second option would be "Down - Down - Finger" which would work ok for slow patterns but it can be very demanding (but possible) for fast licks. It's always recommendable to avoid playing an upstoke on a lower string followed by a pluck in a higher string, it's not very natural.M U D M U D M D

Welcome the the "Outlaw Country III" lesson! I was inspired by the classic sounds of Waylon Jennings while developing this one as well as Jerry Reed, Brad Paisley, and Brent Mason. The tone is dark and twangy. I'm using the bridge pickup on the Tele with some compression, an overdriven amp, and some slapback delay. A major technique in this piece is found in the percussive, hybrid picked motif. This lesson emphasizes style. This is a good one for practicing right hand palm muting and changing pressure in the left hand indicative of chicken picking. Another interesting technique is the use of dead notes. At times we will remove the obvious notes from a scale and replace them with dead notes - sort of a faux harmonic idea.
