Hybrid Picking is a great technique to add to your repertoire. Not only does it allow you to play with some added efficiency, but it can also allow you to play notes or phrases that you couldn’t play with just a pick.
Hybrid picking is the combination of regular picking with a plectrum and using another finger from the picking hand, either at the same time as the plectrum or separate from the plectrum for specific notes. It’s quite a tricky technique to start with and does require a little patience and persistence to get right. Once you’ve started hybrid picking, you’ll never go back!
