    Default Picking dynamics

    Controlling dynamics of the picking is essential in interpreting guitar melodies and harmonies. Here's good etude for concentrating on that.

    Cheers, Mikko

    I don't get it. That guy never changed picking dynamics, just played a long song. And flubbed the last harmonic

    Picking dynamic is all about where you pick (toward neck, bridge, etc), how soft/hard your attack is, how you hold the plectrum (or if you finger/hybrid pick), etc.

    I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.

    I think I was doing those things here. Also when we have this kind of continous picking pattern one can practice different positions and dynamics how they affect the sound.
