Crash course in cross-kicking: 3:35
Applying the technique to Solfeggietto: 5:00
Hey kids! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben, here with another magical installment of Weekend Wankshop!
On episode 243, i'm going to give you all a complete lesson on how to improve and master crosspicking, which is going to take your guitar playing to the next level!
Crosspicking is a technique used by Steve Morse, Andy Wood, John Petrucci, and a legion of evil bluegrass masters like Tony Rice. This technique allows you to change strings in any direction after any pick stroke. This method allows your picking hand to be completely metronomic and rhythmically precise while navigating even the trickiest licks or arpeggios. There's a lot you can do with this versatile picking technique!
At 3:35 i'll give you all a quick crash course on everything you need to know about crosspicking, then i will show you all how to apply it to a section of Solfeggietto by CPE Bach! I always find the best way to practice a new technique is in the context of a song or etude, not just boring exercises! This segment of the piece really helped me get a grip on the cross picking technique, plus its got that cool neoclassical sound. I'll be putting up the backing track i made at two different speeds on my Patreon, so be sure to get it! Theres a LOT more to this piece than what i'm showing here, too, so check it out!
Playing my Suhr Modern Satin into the Fractal Axe FX III, which is just amazing.
