How to Play Ambient Guitar #9 - Hybrid Picking Tutorial (Flatpicking, Fingerpicking)

[@exohead1]

Very interesting technique! I will enjoy playing with this some. My pedalboard power went out so I’m sorta going back to basics to work on refining my playing skills and learning some more chords!

I always wanted to learn this technique, but I only use fingers for ambient...missed opportunity again :)

[@artiefischel2579]

Why use the pick at all? Since your musical style does not seem to include fast melodic runs that lend themselves to using a pick, why not just adopt classical right hand technique and free up that index finger? Or alternately, use a thumb pick?

[@chordsoforion]

I actually use a thumb pick quite frequently in addition to hybrid picking. But I agree that a classical right hand technique would work very well too.

[@jakinstire9008]

I dont like ur tone but you just make it soo freaking beautiful hooow?

[@chordsoforion]

Check out my series on "How to play ambient guitar". Here is episode 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCpgauimbpkeLM

[@neilgroves3592]

ok so my problem with this is my low C is much louder and dominant than my high C....maybe I need to use finger picks?

[@chordsoforion]

If the sound is balanced when you use a standard pick for strumming, etc, then the imbalance is just in your fingers. It took me a while (probably a year or so) to adjust adjust picking pressure between the flatpick and fingers to balance everything out.
