Stevie Ray Vaughan Picks Like This??

[@VaSTI_97]

I’ve never seen anyone break down his technique so well

[@jakefrancis9521]

Your playing, teaching and content is killing it. When I watch your own stuff I see an artist who has his own thing, super musical and worth listening to. But,... you are so good at digging into the details of sounding like other players (which I find strange, like pretending to be someone else, but apparently essential for musical development). Much props for finding your own voice whilst being so good at understanding other people's playing, I haven't seen anyone else accomplish this.

I mean strange personally - I don't think it's a bad thing, just weird for me personally.

I love videos on picking techniques - I held my pick with my thumb, index, and middle fingers for the first 20+ years of my guitar journey, but I wanted to up my hybrid picking game and had to force myself to learn how to grip the pick with just my thumb and index. It was an extremely hard habit to break, and now I'm intrigued by other people's picking techniques. I feel like it's an often overlooked aspect of guitar technique. Cool video, thanks!

[@marbinmusic]

Picking is the most important thing IMO

[@GaryCainMusic]

Yeah man that heavy right hand is the key!

[@JohnGauge790]

Spot on. It took me years to figure I gravitate towards the confident short phrasing sound of gypsy style picking and Stevie was definitely that style of picker.

[@AgnieRF]

Great, analytical content, thank you!

[@marbinmusic]

You are welcome

[@ProgSnob14]

Awesome! Very cool!

[@SuperLocrian]

Good tips! Don't care about sounding like Stevie, I think there are more than a few guitarists who have that covered. Still, I came away inspired to focus on a new picking technique. fwiw - I absolutely loved SRV and was lucky enough to see play him three times.

[@GuitarWisdom]

great analysis you nailed it. no one talks about this stuff in videos because it doesn't get views. i've gone through so many different approaches to picking, trying to figure out if i can reach a new plateau. it'd be interesting to survey some other non standard approaches. metheny is an interesting one.

GREAT TIP ...It's the small things

[@alainbrisebois8334]

You got it man...He used fat strings so that he could hit them harder, because the string dont wable as much as the thin ones.

[@MarkRhodesSongs]

So much of his sound is in that "slap". (Btw, you ever delve into Charlie Christian's playing? He still sounds so fresh to me.) To be clear, the wrist is loose, and the forearm moves (shakes?) it. Right? Will take some getting used to but I can hear that killer sound in what you're doing here.

[@autotrophical3179]

Alright I gotta ask, what gauge guitar pick are you using here? Looks like a Dunlop 1.5mm. Not that it really matters. But ya know, us mortals want to try our best, too.

[@handiplussome349]

i was wondering how you mute the low strings noise while slapping the high strings….

[@aaandersonmn]

word

[@TheArtofBlues]

I wonder what his pick gauge was? On the acl taping you can see the pick flexing like its a super light thickness

[@marbinmusic]

Fender medium gauge

Great sound and technique! Do you mind sharing what amp you are using and how it was recorded? Sounds wonderful.

[@marbinmusic]

It's a Victory amp The Jack 30

[@osingiusa]

Thanks! I would have guessed a blackface style amp. Is the sound recorded with a single room mic?

[@scottcummings8602]

If you pause at 2:50.... can anyone tell me what kind of pick that is? thank you

[@marbinmusic]

Gator grip 1.5

[@scottcummings8602]

@@marbinmusic - Thanks brother, fantastic video. Is that your typical pick of choice?

[@marbinmusic]

@@scottcummings8602 for electric, I use a 3.5 Killy Nonis for gypsy jazz

[@michaelkiese7794]

I think that’s called the “slow hand” technique. Bet he learned that from Clapton.

[@marbinmusic]

It's slow fingers!

[@michaelkiese7794]

@@marbinmusic less is more. more is less.

[@michaelkiese7794]

@@marbinmusic yes, slow fingers. And slow picking. slower is better.

[@FunkadelicPancho]

I'm not even a guitar player but I've always thought it was painfully obvious he was using rest strokes.
