Picking Technique
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:35 pm
How much of Hank's sound came from his pick attack, especially in the early days? He used quite a lot of upstrokes, but his downstroke technique meant the pick went "through" the string and stopped against the next one down, a bit like gypsy rest stroke picking.
Some of the covers that I've seen in social media videos of late show a much less aggressive pick attack, where the string is played with an action that takes the pick away from the guitar body rather than downwards.
Any thoughts?
