String Picking Practice

It looks simpler than it is!

Here’s a sample lesson from our Tips & Techniques videos, which are all part of your BandJammer Membership (should you decide to join!). Each month we are adding new videos to teach you specific techniques that will develop your guitar skills, and help you play the songs that month.

In this video we look at string picking. This is a great technique for both Rhythm and Lead guitar – electric or acoustic.

The thing is, it actually looks quite straightforward. But maintaining speed and accuracy, certainly takes some practice. However once you’ve got this technique nailed, you can easily add so much extra texture and variety to the simplest of chord sequences.

Anyway, do give it a go – and have fun! Regards Andy.

Today we're looking at Power Chords and the classic JJ Cale song Cocaine. Although this is very much more in the style of the Eric Clapton version.

Sad news................"The Father of Loud" Jim Marshall, the founder of Marshall amps, died today aged 88. Slash tweeted "The news of Jim Marshall passing is deeply saddening. R & R will never be the same w/out him. But, his amps will live on FOREVER!"

I say, set up yer stack and rock heaven 'till it shakes.

That man defined the heavy rock guitar sound.
