How I Built My… Hybrid Picking

The three exercises I used to develop my Hybrid Picking

1 Lessons

Hybrid picking is one of those techniques that separates guitarists who can play a line from guitarists who can play any line. By combining the pick with the middle and ring fingers of the right hand, you open up sonic possibilities — string skips, wider intervals, that distinctive plucked attack — that alternate picking simply can’t deliver as cleanly.

What this course covers: Three carefully chosen exercises that build all the hybrid picking dexterity you’ll ever need, taken from the same routine used to develop this technique from scratch during the formative years of playing. No filler — just the moves that actually work.

Why these three exercises?

A lot of hybrid picking resources throw everything at you at once. This course takes a different approach: three exercises, each targeting a specific aspect of right-hand coordination. Block chording, scale lines, and arpeggio rolling are the three pillars of the technique, and each exercise addresses one of them directly. Master all three and you’ll have the right hand covered.
