Very helpful lesson with lots of explanations, Robert.

I’m just concentrating on hitting adjacent strings with the pick. So I can now use all your information on how to mute unwanted strings.

Thanks a lot,

Birgit

Great to hear, Birgit. Also check the funky strumming lesson for more details on muting technique.

On this video Robert performs a "magic trick" making his pick "disappear" in order to pluck with the fingers. Robert has violated the magician's code by revealing an actual magic technique known as the Finger Palm. Magicians use this technique to conceal small items such as coins, rings, poker chips, and on rare occasions, a plectrum. (:}D) Of course, the actual technique is a bit more sophisticated than what Robert did, but it is the same idea. Since Robert is a good friend I won't be kicking him out of the Magic Circle, but it does give me a chance to tip my magic top hat to him.
It also gives me the chance to say something most of us would dare not say: "Keep on practicing, Robert."

Yet again Master Renman has broken down a fundamental lesson into tasty bite size pieces which are easy to absorb. Soooooo good!

Haha, Dan you are such a funny man. I love it!

Glad you like it Craig! 

I tried to make it useful in the context of how the picking applies to double-stops. All that left hand stuff I did can be expanded upon in future lessons. If anyone wants... 😉 

This lesson is Essential stuff for ways to see the fretboard and express yourself as a guitar player.  And Robert, you laid this out in a detailed production with "sit down and let me show you" instruction.

Double Stops are that space that bridge solo and rhythm playing.  They add weight and color to your sound.  

Take a couple of double stops and then pick the notes in sequence playing the notes against each other as they ring out, or just bend one note while holding the other.   The sky is the limit once you start this polyphonic adventure.

Great work, Robert.  Encore!
