I literally started teaching myself hybrid picking about 3 years ago by watching your YouTube Lessons at half speed, and trying to emulate your hybrid picking technique. Some things I got right, some way off. This hybrid picking course is great for anyone who wants to learn hybrid picking without spending hours and hours watching things at half speed. It is a great way to quickly begin learning the correct techniques of hybrid picking. The course is an excellent investment in yourself as a musician!! And, that PRS looks and sounds FANTASTIC!!! Thanks Corey!

NOW THAT is a sick guitar.

I've always loved the sound of this style. this is right out of the school of thought by none other than greg koch, he himself being a hybrid picking beast

@vince1229 2 years ago

Speaking of hybrid picking, Andy Wood played some Matteo Mancuso diagonal quintuplets and said it was hard on the right hand because the Mancuso kid finger picks. If Andy wood said something was hard it means it's impossible for other humans.

Love the pentatonic exercise! Subbed and downloaded.

Thank you x 1000!

30 years ago I was blown away by Audley Freed. When I realized he was hybrid picking everything seemed possible.

@dandylion6 1 year ago

Thanks for both the lesson and product review

@DanTheGeetarman 2 years ago

Very cool lesson as always Corey 🙏💪

@TjDES 2 years ago

Great lesson on how to get started, hadn't really thought about the unison concept. Sometimes it just makes more sense to use hybrid and I think I've just realized why I go for it when I do.

Hey Corey, on Working Class Guitar > Complete Blues Volume 2 > Rhythm Lesson 2 is really awesome, thank you! 🎸🎵

@antonakis79ohyes 2 years ago

I recently got the major penta course, so my plate is full atm! But that guitar is dope!!!

@hearpalhere 2 years ago

Hybrid picking is incredibly useful, I really prefer it for lots of my playing nowadays. I even have incorporated the use of my pinky and that allows for picking/plucking four strings at the same time. Super cool.
You make that PRS sound great Corey (as all your guitars)! I think for the longest time, I always associated you with your pelham blue SG or your Epiphone 🙂

@rockinvegan1765 2 years ago

I'm influenced by guitarists like PG and JP, so I focused more on alternate picking. It's time for me to start incorporating more hybrid picking into my playing. Thanks, that is very helpful!

I love the t-shirt!

In Spanish we actually say "dedo anular" which means "ring finger". The word "anular" comes from latin anularis, anulus, anuli (anillo in Spanish) that means "ring".

@thebrysmith3 2 years ago (edited)

For hybrid picking that made many players consider tossing their axe and taking up something simple like brain surgery, see Richard Thompson.

@sircharles7323 2 years ago

Quick and valuable lesson! I started somehow spontaneous with hybrid picking someday, as I didn´t want to lay the pick beside while doing fingerpicking. I agree, that this is a mighty tool and it sounds really great. Also you can do it whenever you want it, while holding the pick. So it brings a great flexibility. If you play pure fingerpicking and want to change to the pick, then you are usually a little bit stressed (where is that fxxxxx pick angain?).
Thanks very much ❤
