In this example what I'm going to show you how to do a hybrid picking and we're going
to be doing the key of B minor. And I'm simply going to play a B minor chord over a drum
track. And pretty much what hybrid picking is is holding a pick like you normally would
and then using anywhere from your middle index and pinkie or all of them to execute the rest
of your playing. And with the drum tracks for this example sound like this. You know
what I did there was a very basic kind of a bouncy percussive type hybrid picking on
that. And what I did was simply just played the root note of B with the pick and then
used my second, third and fourth fingers to go. And what I also did too was kind of I
muted the notes right after I picked them to give it that nice percussive feel. So what
I was doing there was simply playing B and then the G, B, E parts with my fingers. And that again is another interesting example
of how you can do a simple chord, say like B minor add a little hybrid picking and create
a nice percussive type strum.
