Guitar B Minor: Hybrid Picking

Video Transcript

"In this example what I'm going to show you how to do a hybrid picking and we're going to be doing the key of B minor. And I'm simply going to play a B minor chord over a drum track. And pretty much what hybrid picking is is holding a pick like you normally would and then using anywhere from your middle index and pinkie or all of them to execute the rest of your playing. And with the drum tracks for this example sound like this. You know what I did there was a very basic kind of a bouncy percussive type hybrid picking on that. And what I did was simply just played the root note of B with the pick and then used my second, third and fourth fingers to go. And what I also did too was kind of I muted the notes right after I picked them to give it that nice percussive feel. So what I was doing there was simply playing B and then the G, B, E parts with my fingers. And that again is another interesting example of how you can do a simple chord, say like B minor add a little hybrid picking and create a nice percussive type strum."
