SINGLE-STRING PICKING
Written Materials for This Lesson
This is where our strumming hand turns into our picking hand. We strum multiple strings at the same time. We pick individual strings. This is part of the refinement process. We still do down strokes. Now, we are are "downstroking" on a single string - or one string at a time, instead of all strings at once. The cool thing is: all that we have learned thus far remains the same. Whole notes still recieve four beats, half notes receive two beats, quarter notes get one beat, and so on. You're doing great! Keep on keeping on!
