Playing rapid note runs in a fingerstyle guitar piece is an aggravating challenge. Unless you have background in classical technique, there is really no good way to play fast single-string progressions without a pick. Hybrid picking solves this by allowing you to play both with a pick and your fingers. This lets you change styles very rapidly.Before trying hybrid picking, be sure you are familiar with fingerstyle technique and are comfortable using all of the fingers on your picking hand to play a song. Holding a pick requires two fingers, so be sure the others can compensate.
