@lisadmh – lisa’s right, I wouldn’t do this technique if you intend to come up with a strum.
That technique is meant to pluck immediately following the chuck. Keep the claw shape intact and come down so that these fingers align to the following strings:
1 ring
2 middle
3 index
4 ThumbHere’s a short video I shot comparing the above to the way I do chucking with the intention of strumming up after the chuck.
No worries guys! I just published the lesson, you can check it out here 🙂
I got a chance to tune in last night. Matt taught a great lesson on dynamics!
@rickeymike – Yep!
Wow, ME! Thank you so much for your kind words. We had a lot of fun on this one and I will send your message to Evan 🙂
@tastyshrimp – I should also add, sometimes you pluck strings 2 & 3 and for this I use middle and ring. But you could use index and middle. I think those finger work better than using the thumb + another finger.
I didn’t grasp your full ? until now. Picado is only for single note bursts.
@gaberdude – modes in a nutshell simply means starting on a different note of the scale and establishing that note as “home”, which is what I think you mean when you say A feels “restful”.
As far as G, that’s in D minor (scale) and the chord progression is diatonic to the key. Some chords will contain that note, like bar 3 has A minor as the second chord. The G would make it: A minor 7.
@tastyshrimp – I like to use picado for strings 1 and 2 and Thumb for 3 and 4. But you can alter or mix this if you like.Welcome, Alfreda! Glad you found us 🙂
I’m always around if you need help on the lessons. Please don’t hesitate to post ?’s on the forum.
Yep, looks like I got it wrong. It is A.
I added that melody Note of G. It’s not actually in the traditional melody (diff key). Which should answer your original question.
@gaberdude – The root is not A, it’s D. Which would place G in the scale (4th).
Welcome, @laladehulu! That course def will help. Let me know if you need extra help on it, I’m always around so please feel free to post ?’s on the forum.
