Look up Scotty Anderson. He has a lightning fast technique. Similar technique to Emil Ernebro but faster. It uses the thumbpick and index finger for alternate single line picking.
Thanks! I was able to the first bit down pretty well after about 20 minutes of focus. Looking forward to learning the rest. Hardest part for me is getting a clean fret.
Hey man I love your channel! It's the best in class by farrrrrrrr. I'm trying to find a style like a guy named Colter Wall, but don't really know what to search to find it. Do you have videos in that style? What would that be called?
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it. I just checked Colter Wall out - hadn't heard of him yet - WOAH!!! I dig it! It sounds to me like old school outlaw country, very johnny cash-ish. You should check out Justine Townes Earle. Guitar-wise it's a lot of thumbpicked alternating bass with brush stroke style strums. I don't have a lesson on this, but one may be in order now that you mention it!
I love the design of those but the actual pick part is a bit too thin for my taste. I should check to see if they make a heavier version. Really dug the mobility of the pick. 👍
I was fine with just using my thumb but the day I started using this thumbpick, now I can't even play those things that I was comfortable playing. I'm sure should I continue with a thumbpick?
It find it really hard to do a fast alternate picking on the first 2 frets, specially when including some open string notes, because of the weird knife-shape from the Dunlop thumbpick. For example, I find the lick on the song Red Wing by Chet Atkins (once in major once in minor) really hard to play right despite being the easiest part of the song, because of the open strings.
You have to hold the pick in the same way you would a flat pick. The index finger on the underside of the pick gives you enough support to do the upstroke.
@@BluesGuitarInstitute . Sorry. What I mean is; how do you up-strum with a thumb pick? I've tried using it like a flat pick but it's so difficult, and I couldn't even find any video for that. Thank any way for the reply. Cheers!
Hey no problem. It's really the same as holding a regular pick. The pick part of the thumb pick just needs to be pinched in between your thumb and index finger. Then, strum away. If that doesn't make sense, tell me what you're doing and what's going wrong and we'll go from there. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic or anything to share...
I've got one and it's cool, but I'm favoring a modified Dunlop. I like the stiffness and I ground the end down to a nice point and helps me. But yeah, the bumble bees are cool for sure 👍
Sounds like you're getting it worked out. The angle certainly has alot to do with it and so does the material imo. I'm experimenting with various thumbpicks lately.
tu joues très bien, mais on ne voit pas où tu mets les doigts , pas de tablature, et tu parles beaucoup trop pour quelques notes .mais bravo pour la dextérité

Thanks, I really dig Emil's stuff so I'll look up Scotty Anderson too. Appreciate you mentioning that, Glenn. Cheers!

Yes!! Now I know how to use the thumb pic. Thank you so much!!!
Tommy Emmanuel is a master of this technique.
Absolutely. Great player and I love it when he takes off on these runs.
Lol I’m Mike C too

I'll ask you a question: is it possible to play any kind of music with the thumb pick?
Yes you can.
For me , the bumble bee thumb pick aids greatly in flatpicking. You can change the angle the pick hits the string as the pick part is moveable.

complete the lesson please teach that last boom chika also
We talked about boom chick in lesson 150. It's in the Cards in the video. We'll go deeper in future lessons too.
Hey there John
Hey, Hey!
how do you upstroke with a thumbpick ?
You have to hold the pick in the same way you would a flat pick. The index finger on the underside of the pick gives you enough support to do the upstroke.

I agree.... get a bumble bee ...pick
I've got one and it's cool, but I'm favoring a modified Dunlop. I like the stiffness and I ground the end down to a nice point and helps me. But yeah, the bumble bees are cool for sure 👍
@@BluesGuitarInstitute Modified? Do you trim it?
But how do you get rid of the buzz, if you play with the edge of thumbpick? it makes this awful screech when touches the string.
What brand of thumbpick are you using?
@@BluesGuitarInstitute im using plastic dunlop L size(yellow coloured)
@@BluesGuitarInstitute i guess i was leaning the pick too much. it takes some time to find right angle. I also bought the same pick you are using :)
Sounds like you're getting it worked out. The angle certainly has alot to do with it and so does the material imo. I'm experimenting with various thumbpicks lately.
What the fuck I keep seeing that guitar in the background, what is it??
There are three hanging but I'm guessing you're asking about the resonator. It's a Gold Tone Paul Beard Signature Deluxe resonator.
