Playing Single Notes With A Guitar Pick - Guvna Guitars

Let's do a single note exercise using our pick. We'll use the low E strings for this example

Let's start with an open E string then play the 3rd fret, the 2nd fret, and the 1st fret

There will be times you will hit the other strings when doing this picking motion

and there are a couple of ways to avoid that. The first is picking the strings at an angle that's away from your body like this

And the second is having your pick glide through the E string and then land on the rest of the A

string. I'll count 1, 2, 3, 4 and play the strings on every count

1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 Don't worry if you can't get the melody super clean right now

keep practicing and it'll come naturally along the way
