Guitar Picking Mechanics equips you to use a standard guitar pick (a.k.a. flatpick or plectrum) to play popular styles of music as proficiently as possible.
Through a series of exercises, you are trained to use the proper techniques needed to play common guitar parts.
You also discover techniques that make an immediate difference in how well you pick, so you see fast results.
In order to learn the most practical skills, you play examples composed in the style of familiar songs.
You even unleash your creativity by applying your newfound skills to your own improvisations and compositions.
Your path to picking improvement involves the development and application of the following techniques:
Alternate picking
Changing strings on downstrokes
Downstroke sweep picking
Downstroke economy picking
Upstroke string changes, sweep picking, and economy picking
Pick slanting
