Notes
The most polarizing guitar subject of all...alternate speed picking. Although my musical tastes and interests have taken quite a long journey since my brief flirtation with the shred culture back in the mid to late 80s, I have no regrets about the picking technique i developed during those years. I just sort of stumbled on to this technique on my own when I was a kid. Here’s a couple tips/exercises to show you how I do it. Please note that I always use the shoulder of the pick when i do this.

Corona Lessons Volume 2, Tom Bukovac..."C for Cleveland"

Chapters
00:00 - Rockin' and pickin'
01:22 - Happy Corona / Steve Gaines


Notes
Hello everybody...today's lesson....stop whatever the hell you're doing and go down the Steve Gaines rabbit hole. He died in the plane crash at only 28....he joined Skynyrd long after they were successful and breathed new life into the band's boozy proceedings with his deadly accuracy and ferocious playing (all you ever need to hear to "get it" is "I Know A Little" off the Street Survivors album)....but sadly it didn't last long. Here's a little ramble not-so-loosely based on Jimmie Rodgers "T for Texas" that i call "C for Cleveland".
