Hybrid Picking Demo Video
Here is a video I put together as a demonstration of hybrid picking. That is, fingerpicking while holding a flatpick. I'm not much of a teacher, but I was having fun playing with 2 cameras and video editting software, which allowed me to inset a closer view of my right hand. Anyway, this is almost 10MB, so it might be a while if you are on dialup.

Great playing Bob! I do a lot of hybrid picking myself but haven't had much success with it doing alternating bass lines like that on acoustic. I mainly use it for regular soloing. Feel free to check out some the You Tube clips at myspace.com/brettgarsed and see if any of it is of interest. You've inspired me to get working on my acoustic and make it happen!
Cheers,
Brett.

Thanks for the video, Bob. I had a chance to see it today. All I can say is, it's great. I'm trying to learn hybrid picking these days and I have a minor question. In the video you were not using your right hand pinkie. Do you also use it in other songs you play?

I don't use the pinky on my right hand. At least not for guitar picking. Nose picking perhaps...
That's just the way I learned to play and it works for me.

That was very very cool, Bob!!! Wow! Nice fingers, shame about the ring..hehehe
I'm starting to do something similar, just didn't know what it was called, but I'm going to watch this a few times and see if anything gels in my old brain.
Thank you for doing this - it really IS excellent!

That was cool RB... Don't know how I missed that one. Now the curtain is torn down on the mysterious RB sound! Now, with only 20 years of practice to emulate it I'll be all set!

Thanks Todd, and all those I forgot to thank.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

I can't get the video to play, what do I need on my system?
I click on the link, it downloads and then tells me it has nothing related with it.
Regards....Barry
