Tosin Abasi style selective picking - intro to selective picking

[KotSindrom]

Congrats. The first person to explain it for me without 11 minutes of useless inf

[alexkehoepwj]

This is like the 10th video Ive watched about this, and you finally explain it in under a minute! Thank you so much!

[petelittle]

Thank you! This is probably the most clearest presentation of this picking style I’ve found.

[Tack--]

Most clear and concise explanation on here, love your work

[jeffreyesquivel]

Thanks you so much, I didn't really understand when I saw it the first time

[nylonpython]

That's awesome.
I didn't even know he was doing that, I thought the extra strikes were coming from his fingerstyle insanity.

Hahah that tongue action at the end !
This is exactly how I learned selective picking. The next steps to use more advanced selective picking would be to use multiple strings AND also throwing in more notes that aren't groups of 3 same notes. Do some pull offs that lead in to the selectivepicking pattern. Skip strings, or group the 2's and 3's over multiple strings instead of 3 notes on the same string. Chord and double-stop patterns are cool to use. Using regular triplets inbetween the selective picked flurries to get the low (or high) open string chugs as well. This technique is incredible and feels really good to do

made me pick up my guitar and give it a try! thanks for being so direct!

I think he does it in the opposite way, it's way more hammering than picking, he showed this in an interview. He said "I pick, like, every four notes)

[honestmicky]

Excellent lesson, thanks for sharing 😎

[Bilfford]

I don't know what it is about "hammer-ons from nowhere" but I love it

To complete this technique you'd also have to incorporate alternating between palm muted open strings and the tapped equivalent, to give it a wacky rythm and feel. Great stuff!

[soheil]

Pretty cool technique actually, thanks

[lawpenn]

Not a guitar player I totally understood all of that. Nice

[lukro.]

that's actually the opposite, selective picking starts with playing open string and then left hand taps, except you palm mute it all do the left hand taps sound like you're just picking them

[travissmith]

Combing this with the thumb thump is so hard lol

[luckydragon_tea]

Selective picking is so weird, like, whenever I see people do it, it just looks alien lmao, same with thumping to

[DylNewman]

Sick vid, man! Thanks for the quick tutorial

[ivankyselov]

The fact that I can do this, but I pick all 3 notes anyway...

[CyberBullyOfficial]

If it's from your left hand, that's somewhere.
