Question....

Mr L. (c_e_l_t_i_c_g_o_t_h) - 27 Apr 2004 03:20:02

Does anyone know of any practice techniques to use to get better at
playing songs like gate crusher or miserlou? I have a heck of a time
keeping my pick hand up to speed lol.

Mr. L:
Slowly but surely practice with a metronome/drum machine.
Start at 1/2 tempo. Work at it 'til it sounds crisp and
clear. Crank up the tempo after you begiin to get it.
Invest the time.
Practice practice practice.
good luck,
DP

I've found it comes with a certail way you hold the pick...not too
firm but not too light, its rather hard to explain. I your playing a
jazz or a jag I'd recommend picking close to the bridge. Also
experiment with your palm placement...and try to pick straight up and
down. Keep practicing...
Regards,
Bill

I agree that the 3 most important elements in fast picking are...
practice, practice, practice!!! smile
