Troy Grady - Two way pick slanting (Cracking the Code)

[trap]

I wonder how would Larry Carltons solo on Kid Charlemagne have sounded with rigid picking technique? Probably not as fluid I would imagine. Scott Henderson picks very little and I love his improv sound. Different strokes for different folks!

I think getting that distinctness of rhythm is a real struggle for me... Thinking 1/8th triplets at 240 say but really nailing the time. Sounds great when you hear it.

Some like it smooth and flabby, using thick "eraser" picks. Personally I do like a defined attack of the notes, and I guess I'm leaning a bit towards Andreas Öberg in that respect, although not quite as extreme. Many times he really sounds like he's gypsy picking on an electric guitar.

yes ... its all good. Before the grady series the main tech I studied was strict alternate and sweep. The style you're describing sounds kind of like what Yngwie does - dwps with strategic hammer-on/pulloff.

That's what I've been saying all along.
