I always thought my left hand was the issue until I figured out that I can play faster with economy picking, now I need to work the bugs out of my alternate picking technique to match the speed that I can do with economy. I started using the scalpel method and am moving towards the floating wrist / sarod style. Years ago I had a spanish guitar teacher who showed me that technique but I never really applied it to anything more than spanish style triplet playing on two adjacent strings. Pebber which vids to you recommend for someone who is new to sarod? Thanks.

The one where you are playing and illustrate between alternate and sarod was really helpful thanks.

I just ordered the black grippies, I do like the cat's tounge 1.5's too.

I have always had less than desirable results with arpeggios, I learned some sweep / economy methods that help a little, I could use some tips on how to cross over from deliberate attack to sweeping evenly.

You are going to dig them rob! Let us know what you think when they come in.

wow the tone from these DAVAs is amazing, nice feel too. I still like the cat's tongue grip better but the feel and tone from the DAVAs is great for an edgy sound and killer harmonics thanks!

you can learn things from anyone,,,,,,the most accurate quote ive heard in a long time.. this is why i have joined this forum.

I have been using the Pickboy Carbon Edge picks for about a year now. Great picks. Kind of a "super jazz" pick. It's bigger than a jazzIII but smaller than a regular sized pick.

Pickboy just recently put out the Edge made of Ultem (the same as dunlop's Ultex but I guess Dunlop has a copyright on the name Ultex)

Ordered a pack and have really been enjoying them.

can someone PLEASE tell what the hell Eric Johnson's "circle picking " thing is ? I've seen that video of his where he tries to explain it many times but I still can't figure it out

He must be too busy with all those Chicks. I mean - it probably DOES take great stamina dont you think?

I like the picture on his website where it says "Motivate yourself to practice"... and a hot chick. Maybe she's motivation

Ha, well I asked him about the chicks!

@FazSaber They make a good impression :)

I used to be an active Tom Hess student until last week. His lessons are pretty expensive but don't get me wrong, he is a master. I had to quit due to financial reason. However I will continue taking lessons from him later.
