Some techniques picking / strumming an electric guitar
Yesterday, a friend from Jakarta, wrote a call, send sms to my phone, asking about picking: "......... how does picking the right way? ". Makes me interested to discuss the guitar picking technique.
Before we discuss further, we begin first with understanding and terminology in the world of guitar strumming.
For picking the guitar in general there are two categories:
1. acoustic guitar plucking and
2. electric guitar picking.
On the acoustic guitar strumming with the technique known way apoyando and tirando example. But in this discussion, I prefer the first electric guitar.
There are two terms are often used to describe the technique to play guitar here: that is, picking and strumming. I tend to interpret the picking as: picking the strings, and strumming: strum a few guitar strings at once. On most electric guitars guitar players use a tool to pluck a guitar pick.
In the context of an electric guitar picking technique there is some picking technique that is often discussed, namely: downstroke, upstroke, alternate picking, sweep picking, tremolo picking.
1. downstroke (tablature notation: v): to pluck from the top down
2. upstroke (tablature notation: ^): how to pluck from the ground up
3. alternate picking: a combination of the downstroke, upstroke or upstroke, downstroke. More information, see the http://budisapt.blogspot.com/2009/01/alternate-picking-untuk-mengembangkan.html
4. sweep picking: the movement "sweep" using a pick to produce sound, fast and flowing, from top to bottom or vice versa, is usually used to play arpeggios
5. tremolo picking: one note is played fast and repetitive
Above techniques are often used in electric guitar picking, to the writings to come, will we talk a lot more.
