Seeing him play with his fingers was encouraging for me. I can strum with a pick but get it all caught up in the strings if I try to pick them.

I think he only used his thumb on this version. He and Tal. She works it. I saw him on TV this week doing a concert and the chic bass player was every bit this good, maybe better.

Have you tried choking up on the pick? Less pick surface hitting the strings might help.


This guy has some great advice on picking, granted it's aimed toward shredders, but anyone can definitely benefit:



Check out his Cracking the Code video series on YouTube as well, a longer breakdown on picking styles ... one he subscribes to mainly, but so do a lot of other guitarists, whom he has interviewed at various times, from Steve Morse to Michael Angelo Batio.....
