Members RUExp? Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Find a guitar book that has strumming patterns to get that picking hand in shape. Being a good guitarist is all about the right hand (or left hand if you play left handed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Destructobot Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 My picking hand is WAY beyond my fretting hand, but that's because I was obsessed with surf stuff for oh,, about 6 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members starsailor803 Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 That video reminds me of my friend josh. When he was in high school he was in an accident while riding in a jeep and left him with only a pinky finger on his right hand. He can still play guitar like a mofo. He boils a thumb pick and molds it around his finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sense_of_henry Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I have seen a guy play like him before (or maybe it is him) in Ottawa near the market. A really great player with nice tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mistersully Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 sorry for the thread jack.. just made me think of that vid i agree with the initial post completely... eg. i think SRV's right hand technique is amazing.. his rhythm playing blows my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DanJep Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Find a guitar book that has strumming patterns to get that picking hand in shape. Being a good guitarist is all about the right hand (or left hand if you play left handed). Or... Learn how to strum!I've played with several guys that can rip like no other but could not strum a steady pattern to save their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Not to be an asshole, but that guy's timing is pretty bad. Well, I'm not really being an asshole, since timing doesn't have anything more to do with his disability than calling a Sam Cooke tune an "Animals cover". It's amazing that he can play at all, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members telepete Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 yeh his soloing was out of time...i dunno if it was meant to be in time mind. anyhoo, great skills in the face of adversity. still lovin his farting face tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the Dust Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 damn... if I lost my hand... guess I would kill myself dudes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Like I said, it's great that he's playing.Missing a hand doesn't have anything to do with timing, which is a mental thing, though. It'd be different if I had criticized his travis-picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justintee Posted November 13, 2007 Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 i started playing classical guitar as well, i pick ok i guess.. one thing i can't do well amongst others is strum well enough for funk.. back on-topic: learn some theory, and the fretboard. then you can has klonz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
