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.

I click on the link, it downloads and then tells me it has nothing related with it.

It's a QuickTime movie, so Apple's QuickTime should do it.

that was great, is a cool technique.. but i think is easier to use only fingers..

[Rockerbob]

Fingers might be easier, but overall I find the hybrid is easier for me than switching from a flatpick to fingers and back again. I intermix flatpicking and fingerpicking all the time, so this works great for me. It's not for everyone.

Cool stuffs!

That last bit was cute hehe - may I ask, what type of video editor did you use? I'm getting into that stuff a little bit but so far I'm limited to just creating slideshows. ...some day I'd love to record a tutorial/lesson type deal.

Thanks!

I used Final Cut Pro on a mac to do the spilt screen.

Hey, uh... not sure if I missed it or not, but what's that tune in the video? And, do you have the tab? I've been interested in hybrid picking for the last year or so, but I have no idea how or what to practice. >.<

This is a little bit of a tune called "Different TImes" by Lawrence Juber. At one time - years ago, he had the tab on his website.

Juber does not play hybrid. He uses bare fingers all the time - as far as I know. Perhaps something easier to get the hybrid thing going first.
