Video Question: Strumming with a Flat Pick
Return to Video Question and Answer ListingsGet the Flash Player to see this player.
Date: September 7th, 2007 | Length: 2.38 | Instructor: David MacKenzieJefrank asks "I'm finding strumming with a flat pick more difficult than meets the eye. I can strum down fine, but I find that when I strum up, I catch the strings in a very jagged way. Any tips about that? Also, how much of the pick should emerge from your fingers? Does your hand angle at all as it goes up and down? Thanks!" Another benefit of being a member of JamPlay is the video response section.

David Mackenzie - February 19th, 2008 (2 minutes, 10 seconds)Hsco askedm "I'm asking you this question because you seem to know ACDC very well. When I'm playing the beginning riff to highway to hell I'm getting a real bad buzzing or squealing noise when I transition from D to the rock G chord. It's in the beggining of the song, do I need to find a new chord to try to fit it in to the song. I've tried to palm mute and I can still hear it. Josh Alloway."
