Advanced Pick Raking Lick

Course: Advanced Licks for Lead Guitar

In this video

Learn to improve your Pick Raking technique

In this lesson we're playing a lick with Pick Raking. This is where we drag the pick across multiple strings quickly, but slower than we do when playing chords normally. This is an easy but effective way to slip some fast playing into your licks.

Lesson aims

  1. Learn to use pick raking in both directions across the strings
  2. Make sure you choke off the raked notes quickly once they have been played
  3. Pay attention to your other legato techniques in this lick too - hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides

Lesson 5 - Introduction to Hybrid Picking - pt 3

Well done! Let's jump into the next lesson of the course.
