    This is when we need a button to keep on liking it harder and harder, more and more. It's a real power-up of a lesson. Thanks!

    Hybrid picking is indeed the gateway drug to chicken pickin' and country-tinged playing. I used to be a fairly straightforward, fretting-hand dominant indie rock/punk player until two things happened - 1) I got (or rather, built) a Tele that I fell in love with, and 2) I started incorporating hybrid picking into my playing. It's so much fun and a whole new world of possibilities is starting to open up in my right hand technique. And I'm hearing country guitar in a whole new light. I would have never imagined I'd find myself thinking, "wow - that Travis Tritt solo is sick," but here we are.

      This seems to be a common development for a guitarist. You start off as a punk with a pentatonic and power chord. As I developed further technically, influences came from Larry Carlton, John Scofield, Donald Fagan... and suddenly Billy Gibbons la grange riff that couldn't be played with the plectrum. That’s when I had to switch to fingerstyle for the first time. And has remained so to this day.
      And I'm totally with you, if you want to have your perfect guitar, then you have to build yourself a Telecaster.

    2 things: 1. I’ve got a blister on my middle finger. 2. I’ve swapped from my normal heavy pick to a thinner nylon one. I’ve found this helps me to equalise the volume of pick and fingers, and seems to thicken up the bass notes. Top lesson Eric, as always

    I paused during the La Grange section to see if I can really draw it out and play the correct thing slowly right before Eric recommended it! I'm catching on here, and more importantly, keeping my heart rate down while being more intentional with my playing. Tremendous, thank you Eric.

    Great lesson, as always, Eric, and very nice to see you give a quick tip o' the pick to Adrian over at Anyone Can Play Guitar. You two are both such excellent teachers, players, and people, and both have undeniably superb taste in music, often introducing people to artists they might have not known about or heard before.
    What's that you say? A collab with you and Adrian? Why, yes, that is a most smashing idea!

  • @hardyshmardy

    Fantastic lesson. I don't know why my right hand doesn't work this way. I remember you saying you keep your nails a little longer on your right hand (in the "3 Levels of Fingerpicking" video). Maybe that's part of my problem (as a neurotic nail-biter). But probably it's just the usual issue of having to do something 10,000,000 times before it feels natural. Anyway. I love your playing and your tone here and I'm continually surprised by your expansive repertoire as a player and a teacher!

    When hybrid picking on my electric the sound becomes dull and muddy. Grow nails? They break too easily. Fingerpicks? Also, trying to get the sound level between pick and fingers isn't happening for me. Any suggestions?

      @@EricHaugenGuitar Now that's a great idea. There was definitely a general "style" or even a "Philosophy" of aesthetics in how those players approached the instrument. It was both reactive and proactive - and very creative & influential.
      I just love Buck's opening riffs to mid-80s IRS era R.E.M. "Little America", "Pretty Persuasion", "Green Grow the Rushes", and the sublime tracks on "Pageant" - "Fall on Me" and "Flowers of Guatemala".
      I had the privilege to see them on the Green World Tour back in February '89, Christchurch Town Hall, New Zealand. Show number 5 of over a hundred (200? It was a massive tour) and they had a ball. Played for over 2 & 1/2 hours, ran out of rehearsed material and just started banging out Velvets covers, Stipe going Acapella without warning, a goddam SEX PISTOLS cover ("God Save The Queen"!!), it was just epic. I was 16.
      They were supported by our local heroes "The Bats". Apparently Mike Mills was so into them he started writing songs with them in mind.
      And wouldn't ya know it, on the next record "Out of Time" there are two decidedly Batsy songs, one sung by Mills. "Texarkana" and another I can't recall.
      Memories, precious ones...
      Cheers Maestro.

      I saw Kristen Hersh (Muses) solo in '94. Just her, an acoustic, and those songs.
      She's got mad chops. The Pocket? She was In it & never left it, loose change and all. Her and Tanya Donnelly were a devastating duo.
