Hi, I'm new around here but glad to see an active guitar forum. Years ago I was somewhat active on the guitar player magazine's forums, but I don't even know if they exist anymore. I've been playing guitar and/or bass guitar since 1980. I found Pebber Brown's videos and eventually found this place. One of his videos came up in the right side column when I was looking at ... I think it was Strymon Deco videos. I was hooked instantly because I have always fingerpicked, paying very little attention to how to properly use a pick. I would use a pick to just whack the strings as hard as I can, otherwise I'd just use my fingers. But recently I decided I should more properly address using a pick, and his videos and the community he's built looks like just what the doctor ordered.

Welcome, musicalhair.

You're right. Pebber's got a ton of videos on picking methods and he teaches several styles. He also gives dozens or hundreds of exercises to improve at it in all aspects.

Hi MusicalHair,
nice to meet you :)

Its definately a great place to discuss technique and get some encouragement with your progress.

Looking forward to chatting with you!
