Today I’d same as to chat on the style about picking used within gypsy jazz guitar, otherwise known as ‘rest stroke’ picking.

This picking method is what allows gypsy jazz guitarists to produce such a powerful sound on their instrument, and once mastered, is a true help to your guitar playing.

To get started using this technique, it’s important to follow a few rules whenever playing lead:

Every down-stroke should exist a rest-stroke (IE after the rub is completed, the pick should rest on the string underneath. The exception is the high ‘e’ string about course).
Whenever you transfer to a new string, always begin with a downstroke.

As a good introduction to this, try the subsequent exercises slowly to a metronome, utilising unclosed strings. Be sure to pay attention to picking directions:

I hope you’ve found this a helpful introduction to utilising gypsy jazz picking within your guitar playing.

If you’d same as to grasp more, please consider taking the course Lead Guitar Fundamentals, where I will take you through applying the picking to melodies, arpeggios, and etudes.

Wishing you all the best!
