Same here!! The pinky has been my stabilizing crutch for years while fingerpicking with only first 3 fingers (can’t bend ring finger at first knuckle due to childhood injury). And enjoyed your instruction greatly. @guitarversumsandrasherman do you have any suggestions on arm/hand positioning to over this habit?? Thanks

Großartig !! Das ist genau die Lektion, die bisher fehlte. Alle spielen es, aber niemand erklärt, wie man es richtig angeht. Damit habe ich jetzt erst mal lange etwas zu üben. Alles was scheinbar leicht aussieht, hat es bekanntlich richtig in sich. Und nichts muss mehr geübt werden, als gute und saubere Basics. Danke dafür. Es wird mich entscheidend weiterbringen.

Hey, danke für dein nettes Lob! Wenn du die Basics exakt übst, profitierte du später ungemein davon! Alles spielt sich dann leichter und man kann sich auf andere Dinge konzentrieren, als auf die basics.

Hi Sandra, yes agreed...commit to it and persevere. I am a convert, but for a while it seemed like such an insurmountable obstacle. What I found helpful was to avoid switching to hybrid picking on tunes you are already used to playing non-hybrid style but instead start hybrid picking with a new tune. Dunlop 3 mm stuby is my preferred pick. Missed you last week.

That's a good tip indeed! Sorry for not showing up last week. During the weaker season, I take a week off sometimes, in order to have more preparation time for new videos. Also, I'm currently in the studio, working on some audio recordings.

Hello Sandra. I had no idea what the heck Hybrid Picking was until I saw your video. It certainly made a believer out of me and put me on another path to accomplish something new out of my sweet jazz guitar whom I name her Nelly.

Ha, as a finger picker I've been struggling with that bitchy pick for a while now. This tutorial comes at a perfect time :-)

I've been practcing this for the last weeks and I'm slowly but surely advancing. The pick doesn't feel like a total strange thing in my hands anymore. But I've still got a long raod ahead, till it feels really naturally.

Always test your thumb across the lower strings. The higher strings I sometimes mute with my fingertips, a short slight touch is enough.

Great lesson on what has been a frustration for me. What do you have as far as fingernails? Not press on nails I hope.

Thanks for this. Do you have any thoughts on Wes Montgomery's finger style? I've never seen him play with a pick, yet his sound was so unique......Cheers!

@GuitarversumSandraSherman

5 жыл бұрын

He played thumb only. He once said in an interview, that he has 7 kids at home and a pick is too loud, so he started using only his thumb. The most occurring mistake I see with this technique is, that people don't tensen up their thumb well enough. While a pick should be held loosely, you need to put a little tension into your thumb muscles, else the sound won't have good definition.

Great lesson. I have been growing my nails for hybrid picking. I see you don’t use your finger nails. So you’re just using the meat of your finger. At an angle. Can you explain that?

hi sandra been looking for an easy lesson on this and i find the pick slips a lot when i'm practicing. the pick has a little grip on it but still slips the guage of the pick is .88 but doesn't bend is this normal for begginners are there anymore tips for stopping this

@GuitarversumSandraSherman

Every pick slips unfortunately. But there are picks that have a sand paper like structure (just where your hold it), maybe that's better for you.

Is it a requirement to use the pinky also with HybridPicking?

@GuitarversumSandraSherman

3 ай бұрын

Yes, othersise you only have 2 fi gers left. Most jazz chords gave 4 tones, so you need that pinky. And it has the melody or voice leading tone, so you even need to play it a little louder.

Thanks for all your great lessons. Very detailed and practical. There seems to more and more use of finger style jazz guitar being played out there. In switching from using a pick to finger style I've been learning Hybrid picking so this lesson is very helpful and I notice it seems to be your preference (as opposed to full finger style). Yet, I feel I can have even more flexibility if I learn full finger style technique. I've previously avoided that because I was afraid I would lose speed in my single line playing, which is why I've been drawn to Hybrid picking. But, after watching Joe Pass and many others, (not to mention Flamenco players!) I know that when done correctly, speed is not a problem. Do you also do complete finger style without a pick? If so, I would love a lesson (technique, exercises, etc.) that helps us pick players learn to make the transition and throw away the pick.
