Chet Atkins Style Hybrid Picking Progression - Guitar Lesson Tutorial

Watch this full lesson at http://countryguitaronline.com/chet-atkins-hybrid-picking-progression-guitar-lesson/

In this intermediate guitar lesson video, I’ll teach you one of my favorite hybrid picking progressions in the style of Chet Atkins. Instead of using a thumb pick like Chet Atkins did, we’ll use a standard guitar pick in a hybrid picking style (pick in combo with the other fingers of your right hand). The pick will play an alternating bass line while the ring and middle fingers will pick up the melody notes. This picking pattern can be used with any chord progression.

The Gear I Use:
Acoustic Guitar Strings - Woodtone Country Series https://woodtonestrings.com/
Acoustic Guitar - Martin D18 Ambertone Finish, Collings D2H, Atkin D28, Martin D-16GT, Martin D-15
Guitar Pick - BlueChip TP40
Thumb Pick - Dunlop 9003P White Plastic Thumbpicks, Large
Capo - Shub S1 Deluxe
