I've watched your videos over the last few weeks but I've never heard you speak. When I first started this video I was like good grief April is a Brit haha! I like your playing April, I really do. You have such amazing picking technique which, as a player is my largest weakness. Do you have any tips for a well rounded veteran player to improve picking technique? Cheers from the US!

Hi! Yes I am a Brit! Glad you enjoy my videos :)
Regarding picking technique, I think the style of pick is important. I use a Jazz III which is very small and very stiff, this allows me to pick close to the string for better accuracy, I can also vary the tightness of my grip for harder or softer playing.
People talk about pick slanting but I don't really pay attention to things like that, I find thinking too much makes me worse! Just play and play and then play some more!

Great video, April!
When you have a few minutes, please check out Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo), guitar god from the band Ween. The solo on Transdermal Celebration is a good place to start. 😊

The nostalgia was nice. Did you fix your Marshall yet? And play, play, play April.

Yep, put new valves in a few months back!
