Summary: Learn how to utilize a picking pattern on the acoustic guitar in this free video clip on musical instruments and music theory.
"Hi, this is Tom. This video is for Expert Village.com. We've talked about strumming. In this segment I want to talk about a picking pattern. Some songs sound good with a little bit of guitar picking, and that's really where you're using your pick to play one note at a time rather than strumming across. You can use this by itself, like you can pick a whole song or maybe you strum a bit and then add a little bit of picking in there. So the first picking pattern we're going to talk to is fairly straight forward. What you do is we'll start with the G and we'll play these two notes at the bottom, and then I'm going to play the top notes back the other way. All I'm doing is playing these two larger strings down, and then I'm playing these two higher strings back the other way."

on 8/2/2008 He is great!!!I ve started to play the guitar at the age of 40 and these video series from tom are extremely helpful when I partice at home. It is like having my teacher at my finger tips everynight when I practice the guitar, if I get stuck I just watch the video for the help that I need. My teacher has said Iam processing faster than he expected.
