________________________
This week we discuss my personal thoughts and preferences on thumb picks, and I'll show you how to use a thumb pick on guitar. This is a useful tool that can make playing guitar simpler and easier.
If you're new to guitar and don't know how to use a thumb pick, then this video is for you! By the end of this video, you'll be able to use a thumb pick on guitar like a pro.
Then I answer questions such as "what's the difference between a bar chord and a power chord?", "when should I use left-hand muting over palm muting?", "what's the 3 most used fingerstyle patterns to use?", and much more!
Join us next time, we have a live Q&A every month on the first Thursday of the month! Next RGS Live Session will be on Thursday Feb. 2nd at 12 pm PST/ 3 pm EST. See you soon!
