    Marty always great stuff. Fascinated by your picking technique - it appears your pick is pointed pick tip up going against the "grain" of the strings on your "up strums" from Hi E to low E. I have even slowed down RUclips to allowable .25 speed to try and figure it out - no help. This is not a funk only thing I watch it on all your videos and it always fascinates me. Your right hand is so free and glides through the strings as you strum up - HOW DO YOU DO THAT? Ha Ha, I try to emulate with how my pick is held or using different picks and I just seem to get tangled up in the strings on my up strum. Down strum, got it; up strum unwanted noise and string snags! I could use a video on your up strum alone!!! How the heck to you do that Master Marty?

    • @Heybuditsme
      @Heybuditsme 5 лет назад

      I'm working on that stuff now. I noticed if I use a big bendy pick i can play funk stuff like this better and if I use a sharp harder pick like a jazz iii I can play the fast alternate picking stuff better. As for slow speed picking videos you're gonna want Troy Grady's channel

    nice tutorial. I have one question though
    Am I supposed to mute the e and the a string with my right hand or should I try to be so accurate with my pick that I dont hit them by accident?

    • @gerongrahamgg
      @gerongrahamgg 3 года назад

      Both, depending on what you're doing. If you are at the 7th or 9th fret you may get harmonics on the 5th and 6th string if you dont mute them with more than one finger. Also, it affects how percussive your sound is. People like Nile Rodgers hit less strings, while people like Cory Wong tend to hit all 6 most of the time

So, I discovered your Channel in RUclips and It made me play again, and now Im learning a Lot with you. Keep on with your lessons, they are Very good and you're a great teacher!
