Hybrid Picking

A Minor Arpeggio

A question came up about hybrid picking and if there were any lessons about how to do it. Below is an example of how I use hybrid picking in certain situations. This is from the song Eugene's Trickbag and is the opening A minor arpeggio.

As much as I tried to alternate pick and economy pick this I was not having much success. Borrowing from chicken pickers, I use the fingers that are naturally over the strings that I need to play while I move the pick.

Hope this helps.
